The Centre for Water Systems (CWS) commemorated its landmark 25th anniversary with a two-day celebration event - 'Advances in Water Research & Innovation: 1998 to 2023 and Beyond’ - on Thursday 31st August and Friday 1st September 2023, at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's Streatham Campus.
With almost 120 attendees from around the world – including current and former CWS members, and academic and industrial colleagues – an array of engaging talks, poster presentations and discussions took place; highlighting the development, successes and growing global reputation of the Centre.
We would like to thank all attendees for participating in this special event - it was wonderful to catch up with so many people who have been part of the Centre over the years and with those who have collaborated with us on projects and innovations.
