Course content
We are an interdisciplinary centre for research linked to fresh water, with a particular interest in the connections between law, policy and science. The Centre seeks to create an active community of water researchers from across the University of Dundee and Scotland more broadly.
As the UK’s only United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Category 2 Centre, we work internationally on some of the world’s most urgent problems across multiple sectors and environments and maintain links to an international network of water scholars.
We were established in 2008 by agreement between the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the UK Government, in partnership with the Scottish Government and University of Dundee.
We also provide a hub for Associate researchers across Scotland working on issues connected to fresh water.Our projects are directly relevant to many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and particularly to Goal 6, to 'ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all'. Much of our work is supported by external funding from a variety of sources, from multi-partner, international and interdisciplinary research to discrete, highly targeted policy-driven projects.
Our central aim is to make sure that decision-making is linked to scientific evidence and considers the opinions of those affected by it.
