Campus Connect: The future is water 💧
Extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, the failure of climate mitigation & adaptation, and water crises are some of the most likely and impactful current risks. The availability of water for agriculture is jeopardized by climate change. Globally, we are increasingly seeing that droughts and floods threaten our food production.
Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and other knowledge partners play a key role in addressing these challenges and developing policies. Additionally, the Wageningen Campus is a place where innovative startups are encouraged to accelerate. This is crucial because 60% of our global water shortages must be solved through new technologies. 👩🔬
This Campus Connect event on Water is intended as an inspiring gathering, offering a glimpse into the operations of two water tech companies and several current water projects on campus, all focused on Food & Water Security. As Sjoukje Heimovaara (President of the Executive Board of WUR) aptly put it, "without action, no water, no food for the future."
📅 Thursday October 10, 16:00-18:00
📍 Impulse, Stippeneng 2, Wageningen Campus.
Speakers during the event include Annelies Schenk, Raphael Fredon, PhD, Tiemen Nanninga, Alexander van der Kleij, and Kirsten Dekkers.
