IUKWC Briefs

The IUKWC publishes a series of 'water briefs' aimed at providing a concise overview of the current state of water science in the UK and India. The following types of brief are published as relevant to each activity:

  1. State of Science Briefs providing a short and accessible summary of the current state of India-UK science in a particular area and recommendations for future collaboration.
  2. Knowledge Exchange Briefs  designed to explain either: a) how recent India-UK water science can be translated into commercial opportunities for Indian and UK businesses or the science innovation needs of the private sector in a particular area or, b) the potential policy implications of new science or the science required to support future policy development.
  3. Capacity Building Briefs outlining the future training needs in relation to a particular area of water science in India or the UK.
