EWC Seminar 04/06 : Global WaSH Summer Field Research Experience

April 6, 2018 @ 12:50 pm - 1:40 pm

Event Navigation

Our EWC seminar on this Friday, Apr 6, will feature an information session about a summer field research experience in Sri Lanka. Dr. Josh Kearns will describe this new program and how to apply. Please join us in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40pm.

The Global WaSH (Water-Sanitation-Hygiene) cluster is proud to announce a new program: the NCSU and University of Sri Jayewardenepura (Sri Lanka) Partnership for Excellence in Global WaSH Research.

During the ten-week summer program graduate student researchers from NCSU will travel to Sri Lanka, and vice versa, in order to receive training and conduct research broadly applicable in the domains of environmental chemistry and pollution abatement, water and wastewater treatment and solid waste management, and Global WaSH.

We have received seed funding from the Office of Global Engagement to kickstart the program beginning in summer 2018 and are raising matching funds from donors in the Triangle Area to support additional student researchers.

There are opportunities for EWC grad students to get involved, including receiving support for summer field research experience in Sri Lanka.

Interested students and faculty advisors should attend an upcoming information session in Mann 304 from 12:50-1:40 on Friday April 6. The nascent program will be explained along with the application process.
