In July 2015, the University of Glasgow launched an innovation competition for suggesting innovative ways to tackle the present world water problems, in which one of our own, Shoubhik Gupta was the part of the winning team. The Water Challenge was an opportunity for PhD students, early career researchers, and Postdocs to come together with other individuals and develop innovative solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges.
The winning team proposed public engagement program in schools and some novel prototypes to reduce water consumption at home. These ideas were very much appreciated by the judges panel.
