Slovenia and Africa collaborate on water solutions
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Researchers at the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Chemistry in Slovenia are working with universities across Africa to develop affordable methods for cleaner water.
The collaboration, part of the European-African Centre of Excellence, unites seven European and nine African universities. Scientists aim to share knowledge and conduct joint research, projects, and education initiatives related to water resource management. Professor Barbara Hribar Lee explained that African partners bring experience managing harsh conditions, while European researchers contribute advanced technology.
The Centre’s investigations range from using artificial intelligence to predict and manage water systems to creating technologies that remove pollutants like pharmaceutical residue from contaminated water. The partnership focuses on a two-way exchange of knowledge, recognizing the value of both European technological solutions and African experience in water management. Researchers are working together to address the challenges of climate change and social shifts as they impact water resources.
