Dženeta will join the conference “Making and Doing Transformations” in Amsterdam from July 16th to July 19th, organized by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) and the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST). She will present major findings of her PhD and ‘regulate’ project in two talks.
More transfers of water over long-distances are prepared across Germany to ensure drinking water supply security in times of droughts and peak drinking water demands on hot summer days. Originally, such transfers were meant as an exception for e.g. metropolitan areas with high industrial and public water demand and unfavourable local water resources. Today, already 20% of Germans are supplied with water imported from other administrative areas or hydrological basins.
During the week of September 6th-10th, regulate researchers will participate in several conferences on (ground) water. At these, they will present the regulate research approach.
On the ISOE-blog, Robert and Fanny provide an insight into the importance of the telecoupling concept in groundwater research. Additionally they present the research mode of the “regulate” project.
In the new ISOE blog called “Social Ecology. Crisis – Critique – Design”, Dženeta provides some research insights from her ethnographic fieldwork on renewable energy infrastructuring practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At the Waterworlding Conference, Dženeta presented on subterranean waterworlding in the border region of Croatia and Bosnia. Afterwards Fanny and Dženeta moderated sessions in the international symposium bringing together social and cultural water studies.
Last week, we could finally meet all together in person. We used this day to reflect on the first months of the project and to work on various team products.
In the event ‘Meet the Scientist’ on June 23, 2021 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., ISOE scientists Robert and Stefan will present current results from water research in conversation with citizens.
Robert gave a talk on groundwater resources for BUND Saarland on April 13th 2021. The topic was, how climate change and societal demands potentially lead to conflict situations over groundwater resources among stakeholders.
