Calling Young Egyptian Water Innovators!

The world is facing a growing water crisis that is inextricably linked to all of humanity’s most pressing challenges. But we can solve it by changing how we manage water!

Cedare – Centre for Environment & Development for the Arab Region & Europe, and Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) are partnering together to enhance water sustainability efforts in Egypt. Cedare will organize Egypt’s national Stockholm Junior Water Prize competition, a competition for students aged 15 to 20 who have developed research projects that can help solve major water challenges. The competition attracts tens of thousands of entries from approximately 35 countries.

Over the years, many ideas that started as Stockholm Junior Water Prize projects have proven to be important innovations that changed the lives of both the participants and their communities. Many previous winners have gone on to pursue successful careers within the water world, testifying how the competition helped spark their interest in science and influenced their career choices.
