Global Institute for Water, Environment and Health

About

The Global Institute for Water, Environment and Health (GIWEH) was formed in March 2007 under the initiative of Swiss, European and Middle Eastern scientists who graduated from several Swiss Universities and their professors. Their specialties involve different scientific researches in water, environment and health, and promoting different multidisciplinary points of view. GIWEH was formed in response to a recognized need for a new, broad-based focus in the inter-disciplinary subject of hydrology, environment and health. We aim to stimulate interest in the scientific and applied aspects to the challenges of our common future such as climate change and anthropogenic factors. GIWEH is a Swiss-based, not-for-profit technical, research and training organization, currently located in the center of Geneva, very close to numerous international organizations, and NGOs, as well as many multinational firms. GIWEH focuses on the relationship between water, environment and their respective impacts on the health of humans and all other life forms. The Institute conducts research, implements technical and scientific applications, relative to the management and protection of water resources thus promoting an improved ecosystem, with benefits to health and environment.
