NEWAVE - Next Water Governance

NEWAVE Next Water Governance is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) supported and co-funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action programme, providing 15 positions for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). The NEWAVE project departs from the notion that the global debate about water governance needs a reset, and aims to point the way forward. It does so by developing research and training for a new generation of future water governance leaders, and by equipping them with the transdisciplinary skills to better tackle water challenges. Because of its excellent design, NEWAVE will help to recognize and avoid the traps in the current debate on water governance, such as panacea thinking, the disregard of institutional contexts, and the neglect of politics or normative considerations such as justice and equity. NEWAVE thus presents an opportunity to make a step change in an salient societal debate in Europe, and far beyond, and is designed to leave a strong legacy in terms of networks, insights and skills acquired.
