NextGen Water: Breaking the Wall to Water Security | Falling Walls Summer School Falling Walls Foundation 2023-12-18 | #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit23 #fallingwallslab #FallingWallsEngageIn the final voting, NextGen Water’s multidisciplinary team emerged at the forefront, comprising Dr. Hussam Hussein, a political scientist from the Royal Scientific Society (Jordan), Dr. Amit Kumar, an environmental engineer from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Mr. Manoj Matwal, a conservation and sustainability consultant from the Harela Society (India), and Dr. Tamlyn Naidu, a chemical engineer from the University of the Witwatersrand’s Centre for Water Research and Development (South Africa).Their innovative approach illuminated the risks of emerging contaminants like PFAS and pharmaceuticals in various water sources, from drinking to household and even recycled water. The project’s core is an advanced cavitation based oxidative technique (developed by CLEWATEC), targeting contaminants at their molecular level, and removing the need for filtration. Proposing a partnership with farmers, the team aims to reduce the use of contaminated water, thereby enhancing the purity of agricultural produce and boosting yields. Moreover, a robust public awareness campaign intends to inform communities about these unknown water challenges and drive legislative and policy change.This initiative advocates for tighter contamination controls and the adoption of refined purification methods, ensuring clean and safe water for all. Conceptual in its origin, the project embodies the synergy of cutting-edge science and community engagement, setting a new benchmark for water purification solutions. The team remains collaboratively engaged on this pivotal topic, while the technology undergoes further refinement through R&D._____Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year:The prestigious title is awarded for groundbreaking research in all academic disciplines.

Emi Koch: Breaking the Wall to Socio-Ecological Wellbeing in Fishing Villages Falling Walls Foundation 2023-12-12 | #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit23 #FallingWallsEngageWe're a Peruvian nonprofit using participatory storytelling and community-based research to engage learners and educators in fishing villages. They gain insights into their changing social-ecological systems in a shifting climate and industrialized planet. Through “edutainment” workshops, programs, and festivals, we provide tools and spaces to foster encounters, establishing relations between people and places, to expand our understanding of time and space. We collaborate with social and natural scientists “in the field“ to discuss their ideas with local youth, engaging students to learn alongside them. Students conduct their own research and mobilize the knowledge gathered by working with their teachers to create animations, films, photo series, maps, and more that are rooted in cultural heritage, fortified by science, and expressed through learners’ imagination. These creative productions share findings and ideas to spark conversations and shape change together._____Falling Walls Engage:Falling Walls Engage is the global platform for Science Engagement hosted by the Falling Walls Foundation in cooperation with the Robert Bosch Stiftung.We believe that public trust and involvement in science plays a central role in addressing global challenges, achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), and contributing to the overall wellbeing of society. Our mission is to connect and support established and emerging Science Engagement stakeholders to generate mutual benefits for science and communities all around the world.falling-walls.com/engage _____Instagram: instagram.com/falling_walls Facebook: facebook.com/fallingwalls LinkedIn: facebook.com/fallingwalls____About the Falling Walls Science SummitThree days of intense scientific discussions, networking, and knowledge sharing in the incredible cosmopolitan city of Berlin!The Falling Walls Science Summit is a leading international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral forum for scientific breakthroughs and science dialogue between global science leaders and society.
