The SAFEWATER research facilities will try to find low cost technologies and smart devices to tell if water is drinkable.
£4.7 million will be founded by the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) to help other partners like academics in South America and NGOs working in Columbia and Mexico.
GCRF is £1.5 billion fund that supports cutting-edge research which addresses the global issues faced by developing countries. It harnesses the expertise of the UK’s world-leading researchers, focusing on: funding challenge-led disciplinary and interdisciplinary research; strengthening capacity for research, innovation and knowledge exchange; and providing an agile response to emergencies where there is an urgent research need.
Ulster University will lead on this cutting-edge research which will form part of the SAFEWATER project. It will involve academics from the University of Sao Paulo Brazil and the University of Medellin Colombia, along with the NGOs Fundacion Cantaro Azul Mexico and CTA Colombia who are already working with, and trusted by, the local people.
