NEWAVE aims to empower a new generation of researchers taking future leadership positions in academia and public and private sectors by providing the interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training required to address the most current and pressing global water governance challenges. The exceptional scientific experience of the NEWAVE consortium, the inter-disciplinary approach to tackling issues and the diversity of the partner organisations guarantees the ESRs exposure to the latest scientific concepts and methodologies, from fundamental to applied research. A solid and innovative combination of training in scientific and transferable skills, taught by global experts, in addition to practical experience through non-academic secondments, makes NEWAVE researchers highly attractive to potential employers in all sectors concerned.

NEWAVE ESRs will develop a variety of skills that will give them the leadership capacity to excel and make a difference in water governance and launch diverse careers in a variety of sectors.
