ABSTRACT The international workshop on Safe Global Water(SGW): Building Partnerships for Sustainable Global Access to Safe Water and Sanitation will address the global challenge of fostering the economic growth of the most impoverished one billion people of the world by improving their quality of life and productivity through access to safe water for human consumption and food security, and sanitation for resource recovery (energy, nutrients) and revenue generation. To achieve this, the SGW workshop will bring together an unprecedented global coalition of researchers from social and natural sciences, and engineering coupled with global stakeholders and practitioners from government and international agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry. The following workshop objectives are highly resonant with EFRI: (1) Explore effective strategies based on cutting edge research co-located at U.S. and target nations to make revolutionary advances in science and technology in safe water and sanitation while simultaneously building capacity into higher education institutions; and (2) Explore innovative approaches to impact technology design, acceptance, and sustainability through integrated multinational teams of engineers partnered with social and natural scientists. The SGW international workshop will bring stakeholders from around the world to address the challenges of providing safe water and sanitation to developing countries and emerging communities. This challenge can only be addressed with transformational advances in safe water and sanitation technologies that are developed for the socio-cultural contexts in which they will be used. Such advances require a global coalition of strategically selected academic, entrepreneurial, industrial, practitioner, governmental, and NGO partners. This workshop will form the foundation upon which existing and new partnerships can be grown. Having all of the stakeholders, academic and otherwise, together for an intensive workshop will allow a new paradigm in safe water and sanitation solutions that will be technically and socially sustainable. This international gathering of research and policy leaders with a vested interest in Safe Global Water will represent: universities, national agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, industry, and graduate students. This workshop will have at its focus an unprecedented engagement of basic scientists, engineers, social scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders to create a plan to solve the technical SGW needs of the target countries while simultaneously building human capacity and micro-marketplaces within locally sustainable socio-cultural contexts. The targeted outcome of the workshop to formulate and initiate research on safe global water and sanitation at the boundaries of basis science, engineering, and social sciences through higher education based international collaborations is a paradigm shift that will lead to fundamental advances in the understanding of safe water and sanitation issues while also producing an interdisciplinary and international education environment that will better prepare U.S. students for working in the ever growing global research context.

全球水安全国际研讨会（SGW）：建立伙伴关系促进全球可持续获得安全饮用水和卫生设施将应对促进世界上最贫穷的10亿人的经济增长的全球挑战，办法是通过获得供人类消费的安全饮用水和粮食安全以及促进资源回收的卫生设施，改善他们的生活质量和生产力（能量、营养）和创收。为了实现这一目标，SGW研讨会将汇集社会和自然科学研究人员的前所未有的全球联盟，以及来自政府和国际机构，非政府组织和行业的全球利益相关者和从业者。以下研讨会的目标与EFRI高度共鸣：（1）基于在美国和目标国家共同开展的前沿研究，探索有效的战略，在安全用水和卫生设施的科学和技术方面取得革命性的进步，同时建设高等教育机构的能力;和（2）探索创新方法，以影响技术设计，接受，通过与社会和自然科学家合作的综合性多国工程师团队，SGW国际研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的利益相关者，以应对向发展中国家和新兴社区提供安全饮用水和卫生设施的挑战。要应对这一挑战，就必须在安全饮用水和卫生技术方面取得变革性进展，而这些技术是为使用这些技术的社会文化背景而开发的。这些进步需要一个全球联盟的战略选择学术，企业，工业，从业者，政府和非政府组织的合作伙伴。该讲习班将为现有的和新的伙伴关系的发展奠定基础。让所有利益攸关方，学术界和其他方面的利益攸关方聚集一堂，举办一个密集的讲习班，将有助于在安全饮水和卫生解决方案方面形成一个新的范例，这种范例将在技术上和社会上都是可持续的。 这一国际性的研究和政策领导人的聚会，在安全的全球水的既得利益将代表：大学，国家机构，国际组织，非政府组织，行业和研究生。本次研讨会将重点关注基础科学家、工程师、社会科学家、政策制定者和利益相关者前所未有的参与，以制定一项计划，解决目标国家的技术性SGW需求，同时在当地可持续的社会文化背景下建设人力资源和微型市场。在基础科学、工程学、生物技术和生物技术的范围内制定和启动全球安全用水和卫生研究的讲习班的目标成果，通过高等教育为基础的国际合作和社会科学是一个范式转变，将导致在安全饮用水和卫生问题的理解，同时也产生一个跨学科的国际教育环境，将更好地准备美国的根本进步。学生在不断增长的全球研究背景下工作。
