Conferences, Events, and Presentations
In order to remain at the forefront of innovation and scientific knowledge, it is our policy to attend at least one conference per year, and to present on a relevant topic at each conference that we attend. Carin Bosman has won the award for best presenter at a number of international conferences , presenting on a wide range of topics, from fracking, to nitrate pollution, to the water crisis in Cape Town. She is also regularly invited to participate in discussion panels on environmental governance matters.

Our Partners and Collaborators
As we described when we told Our Story, we realised from the very beginning that Collaboration is the key to achieving our mission of delivering Solutions that lead to sustainable decision-making in Environmental- and Water Governance, because it takes a village to eat an elephant.
