February 15– 17, 2015
Hamad bin Khalifa University Student Center
Doha, Qatar     

Water, energy and quality of life go hand in hand. The food we eat, the houses we live in, the transportation we use and the things we cannot live without determine our quality of life and require sustainable, secured and steady supplies of water and energy. Exponential population growth and the desire for improved standards of living-together with water pollution from industrial use-are rising the water and energy demand, putting serious strain on the quantity of available fresh water and energy sources. In addition, global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today.

To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce emissions (carbon footprint) make use of alternative, renewable sources of energy, and reclaim and reuse water.

Science and engineering play vital and increasing roles in securing the current and future needs of both society and the planet Earth-from carbon capture to sustainable energy generation, from water supply to waste management-by developing new technologies, know-how and practical solutions. Meeting the exponentially growing water and energy demands required to improve quality of life and securing sustainable energy and water supplies are important challenges for scientists and engineers today.

This workshop, organized with the support of British Council and Texas A&M University at Qatar, encourages young academic and industrial researchers in the early stages of their careers to present their stimulating research and knowledge-transfer ideas in water and energy.
