The objective of this International Year is to raise awareness, both on the potential for increased cooperation, and on the challenges facing water management in light of the increase in demand for water access, allocation and services. The Year will highlight the history of successful water cooperation initiatives, as well as identify burning issues on water education, water diplomacy, transboundary water management, financing cooperation, national/international legal frameworks, and the  linkages with the Millennium Development Goals.

Planning for the 2013 World Water Week, under the theme "Water Cooperation - Building Partnerships", is in full motion. Make sure to influence which issues that will be addressed during the conference, and submit your workshop abstracts and seminar/side event proposals now!

Stellenbosch University (SU), situated in the beautiful Western Cape winelands region, is a leading research university in South Africa. We recognize the important contribution of postdoctoral research fellows to our university’s excellent research outputs. We furthermore regard fellowships for postdoctoral positions as critical in paving career paths for emerging researchers. For these reasons we wish to support and promote a vibrant postdoctoral culture at  SU.
