BECOME / WATER, CLIMATE & CIRCULARITY

Build around water, climate and resource challenges

Connect environmental questions with local knowledge, scientific investigation and practical project design.

Discuss a resource or climate challenge

Water and resource challenges differ by place, use and infrastructure. An effective project starts by understanding those conditions and agreeing what progress should mean for the people and organisations involved.

Define the problem and its boundaries

A useful starting point identifies the resource, the users, the geographic scope and the available baseline. It also makes clear what the project can influence and what lies outside its scope.

Directions for collaboration

  • Explore monitoring and analysis of water or environmental conditions.
  • Investigate materials or processes relevant to resource use and recovery.
  • Assess opportunities to extend product life or recover useful value from residual streams.
  • Develop local capabilities to understand data and evaluate proposed interventions.

Combine the right forms of evidence

Field observations, laboratory work, stakeholder insight and data analysis can each contribute to the same project. A credible evaluation explains the baseline, measurement period and limitations behind any result.

Work across DeepTech domains

SpaceTech offers a route to discussing Earth-observation applications. Data & AI can support interpretation, while advanced materials can inform application-specific research.

Build with the local context

For institutional initiatives, International Cooperation connects programme design with local participation and delivery planning. Bring the challenge, the intended beneficiaries and the evidence already available.

Sorption behavior of diclofenac on a kaolinite–biochar composite: adsorption mechanisms and environmental implications

R. Lafi; R. Elleuch; S. Jebri; et al.

Diclofenac sodium (DCF), a common pharmaceutical contaminant, poses risks to both environmental and human health even at low concentrations. Although environmental levels typically fall within the ng/L–µg/L range, this study investigates DCF sorption in the low‑mg/L…

Methyl Orange Adsorption onto Modified Extracted Cellulose from Olive Stones: Kinetics, Isotherms, Thermodynamic, Mechanism Studies, and Desorption

Ridha Lafi; Walid Mabrouk; Abdullah Yahya Abdullah Al Zahrani; et al.

OS (olive stones) are a type of lingo-cellulosic biomass that is generated as a by-product in the olive oil industry. In this investigation, the EC (extracted cellulose) from the olive stones was modified with CTAB (cetyl…
