Project description

In 2019, this project has developed through collaboration with the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) that received funding from the
British Academy to develop a British International Research Institute (BIRI) network.

Over the past year, the network has focused on developing projects on water management, possibly seeking to leverage the experience of past water management throughout the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa to assist with modern water management.

We have now held an initial workshop in Ankara and a second is to be held in the UK in mid-February 2020. Through these workshops we are bringing together water researchers associated with each of the BIRI (including CBRL) so that they become acquainted with each other’s work and develop projects for which funding will soon be sought.
