water@leeds Confluence, 21 October
water@leeds is now in its 15th year. Since its formation, it has been clear that challenge-led problems associated with water not only require coordinated approaches to deliver effective solutions but, by necessity, they require truly interdisciplinary ways of working.
In that spirit, we invite you to join us at our annual event water@leeds Confluence, 21 October. Confluence is designed to ignite new interdisciplinary collaborations and to bring together water research from across the University's schools and faculties. There will be lightning talks and networking opportunities.
Join us to share your research across water@leeds and to present your project or ideas for potential collaboration. This is a unique opportunity to network and form new collaborations.
Never has the need for interdisciplinary solutions to global water challenges been greater or more urgent.
