Chicago Mayor Commends Collaborative Water Research Projects
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel was at the signing of an MOU that outlines ways to increase collaboration between Northwestern University and Ben-Gurion University’s Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research at the at the Water Technology & Environment Control (WATEC) Conference in Israel. The mayor’s comments about interdisciplinary investigation, cross-country partnerships, and the importance of water (in)security research reflected, in many ways, a broader political recognition of the great potential and importance of water. We are proud that the holistic approach and cooperative nature of the HWISE project was specifically highlighted at the signing.
