Water Spoutt Research Project

WATERSPOUTT aims at providing safe drinking water to communities who rely on unsafe sources. The consortium is carrying out a technological development programme to advance three applications based on Solar Disinfection (SODIS), which can make water safe to drink after it has been collected. In parallel, a social science programme has been structured to make sure that the technologies are adopted by the target communities in rural Africa, with the support of the local authorities and in an economically sustainable way. WATER SPOUTT is an EU funded project with the lead partner RCSI – Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland with 18 partners in total with Safewater’s Dr Pilar Fernandez representing, Plataforma Solar de Almería of CIEMAT – Centro de Investigaciones Energeticas, Medioambientales y Tecnologicas, on this sister project.

RECIRCULATE

RECIRCULATE aims to drive eco-innovation in Africa and capacity-building for a safe circular water economy. RECIRCULATE will support new partnership-based approaches to enable African researchers to grow transformational impact through working with, in and for their communities and developing robust, durable and equitable partnerships with UK researchers.

The project will deliver innovative solutions to pressing problems with water use and safety. RECIRCULATE will “join up” the different ways in which water sustains communities, from sewage disposal to energy generation and water used in food production.

Sunrise

Strategic University Network to Revolutionize Indian Solar Energy (SUNRISE) is a joint UK-India solar power project aiming to deliver low-cost photovoltaics to rural India.

The SUNRISE network unites several top universities and industries from the UK and India in an equitable research collaboration. Through the establishment of this international network, it will develop and implement the technology necessary to build a minimum of five solar-powered building demonstrators in rural Indian villages within the lifetime of the project. The network also hope to increase research and delivery capabilities to ensure the continued development of sustainable communities in India.

BRECcIA

Building Research Capacity for sustainable water and food security in sub-saharan Africa (BRECcIA) aims to develop research capacity across institutions that is self-sustaining and focused on improving food and water security for the poorest of society.

The vision is to strengthen research capacity and capabilities in institutions in Malawi, Kenya and Ghana to carry out impactful research that leads to positive policy and practice change for sustainable water and food security, which will have benefits for the 270 million people living in the Sub Saharan Africa drylands.

REWATERGY

REWATERGY is a Marie Curie European Industrial Doctorate (EID) training network funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 research and innovation action. The REWATERGY programme aims to develop an academic-industrial partnership within the water-energy nexus.
