Congratulations to Mr. Atif Mustafa (PhD student supervised by Dr Miklas Scholz) who won the first prize for his poster on integrated constructed wetlands at the National Telford Institute Workshop on Sustainable Urban Water Management: "Promoting Internationally Leading Research in Sustainable Urban Water Management
at Scottish Universities". Sixteen posters entered the final stage of the competition.
Workshop Aims and Objectives: The overall aim is to create a proactive network for Scottish academics and practitioners to further develop the sustainable urban water management research agenda in Scotland. The main workshop objectives are therefore to:
- share existing expertise and transfer experimental techniques, models and scientific insights relating to sustainable water management between Scottish academics and practitioners;
- develop a coherent end-user-focused research agenda on a Scottish-wide collaborative basis to assist and inform decision making processes;
- encourage the international community to participate where gaps in knowledge and understanding on a Scottish level need to be addressed; and
- prepare collaborative high quality research proposals by Scottish academics.
Background of Telford Institute Workshop: The principal purpose of a Telford Institute Workshop is to support pan-Scottish collaborative research activity that would not otherwise have taken place, by providing funding to convene meetings of Scottish-based researchers to review the state-of-the-art of a specialised research topic of common interest and to thereby stimulate the formation of new pan-Scottish research groups to pursue the topic in question through concerted action. |
