Safe Global Water(SGW): Building Partnerships for Sustainable Global Access to Safe Water and Sanitation

全球安全用水国际研讨会（SGW）：建立全球可持续获得安全用水和卫生设施的伙伴关系，将解决全球面临的挑战，即通过获得安全用水来提高世界上最贫困的10亿人的生活质量和生产力，以实现人类消费和粮食安全，以及为资源回收（能源、营养）和创收提供卫生设施，从而促进世界上最贫困人口的经济增长。为了实现这一目标，SGW研讨会将汇集一个前所未有的全球联盟，包括来自社会科学、自然科学和工程学的研究人员，以及来自政府和国际机构、非政府组织和工业界的全球利益相关者和实践者。以下研讨会目标与EFRI高度一致：(1)探索基于美国和目标国家共同开展的前沿研究的有效战略，在安全饮用水和卫生设施方面取得科学技术的革命性进步，同时为高等教育机构建设能力；(2)通过与社会和自然科学家合作的综合跨国工程师团队，探索影响技术设计、接受和可持续性的创新方法。SGW国际研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的利益攸关方，共同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。这一挑战只能通过安全饮水和卫生技术的变革性进步来解决，这些技术是为使用这些技术的社会文化背景而开发的。这样的进步需要一个战略性选择的学术、企业、工业、从业者、政府和非政府组织合作伙伴的全球联盟。这个讲习班将成为发展现有和新的伙伴关系的基础。将所有利益攸关方，包括学术界和其他方面的利益攸关方聚集在一起，参加一个密集的研讨会，将为安全饮水和卫生解决方案提供一个新的范例，在技术上和社会上都是可持续的。这次国际研究和政策领导人的会议将代表：大学、国家机构、国际组织、非政府组织、工业界和研究生。本次研讨会的重点将是基础科学家、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SGW技术需求，同时在当地可持续的社会文化背景下建设人力能力和微型市场。讲习班的目标成果是在基础科学、工程、通过基于国际合作的高等教育和社会科学是一种范式转变，它将导致对安全用水和卫生问题的理解取得根本性进展，同时也将创造一个跨学科的国际教育环境，使美国学生更好地为在日益增长的全球研究背景下工作做好准备。

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.
