The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water (PSIPW) have renewed their long-standing agreement to promote the use of space-based technology for better water resource management.
The Prize Council Chairman Dr. Badran Al-Omar, under the direction of PSIPW President HRH Prince Khalid Bin Sultan, announced the winners for the 9th Award (2020) of the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water (PSIPW).
Leading scientists, economists, and professionals from 15 countries came to Cape Town to meet with their South African counterparts for intensive multi-sector workshops to determine how to prevent a Day Zero Scenario: when a city completely runs out of water.
For the third consecutive year, the Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Prize for Water was the Platinum Sponsor for the European Meeting on Environmental Chemistry, an interdisciplinary conference that covers a broad range of topics within the field of environmental chemistry. PSIPW honoured eleven young researchers for best paper and poster presentations.
PSIPW participated in the 2nd International Conference on Risk Assessment of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (ICRAPHE 2019) which was held in Barcelona, Spain from 28 to 29 November 2019. The participation of three leading experts in the field was supported by a PSIPW grant.
