ABSTRACT The international workshop on Safe Global Water(SGW): Building Partnerships for Sustainable Global Access to Safe Water and Sanitation will address the global challenge of fostering the economic growth of the most impoverished one billion people of the world by improving their quality of life and productivity through access to safe water for human consumption and food security, and sanitation for resource recovery (energy, nutrients) and revenue generation. To achieve this, the SGW workshop will bring together an unprecedented global coalition of researchers from social and natural sciences, and engineering coupled with global stakeholders and practitioners from government and international agencies, non-governmental organizations, and industry. The following workshop objectives are highly resonant with EFRI: (1) Explore effective strategies based on cutting edge research co-located at U.S. and target nations to make revolutionary advances in science and technology in safe water and sanitation while simultaneously building capacity into higher education institutions; and (2) Explore innovative approaches to impact technology design, acceptance, and sustainability through integrated multinational teams of engineers partnered with social and natural scientists. The SGW international workshop will bring stakeholders from around the world to address the challenges of providing safe water and sanitation to developing countries and emerging communities. This challenge can only be addressed with transformational advances in safe water and sanitation technologies that are developed for the socio-cultural contexts in which they will be used. Such advances require a global coalition of strategically selected academic, entrepreneurial, industrial, practitioner, governmental, and NGO partners. This workshop will form the foundation upon which existing and new partnerships can be grown. Having all of the stakeholders, academic and otherwise, together for an intensive workshop will allow a new paradigm in safe water and sanitation solutions that will be technically and socially sustainable. This international gathering of research and policy leaders with a vested interest in Safe Global Water will represent: universities, national agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, industry, and graduate students. This workshop will have at its focus an unprecedented engagement of basic scientists, engineers, social scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders to create a plan to solve the technical SGW needs of the target countries while simultaneously building human capacity and micro-marketplaces within locally sustainable socio-cultural contexts. The targeted outcome of the workshop to formulate and initiate research on safe global water and sanitation at the boundaries of basis science, engineering, and social sciences through higher education based international collaborations is a paradigm shift that will lead to fundamental advances in the understanding of safe water and sanitation issues while also producing an interdisciplinary and international education environment that will better prepare U.S. students for working in the ever growing global research context.

摘要国际安全全球水（SGW）研讨会：建立可持续的全球获取安全水和卫生设施的伙伴关系将解决全球挑战，即通过通过获得人类的消费和粮食安全以及资源恢复（能量，营养，营养）和收入生产的资源安全和卫生来促进世界上最贫穷的10亿人的经济增长。为了实现这一目标，SGW研讨会将召集一个从社会和自然科学的研究人员组成的空前的全球研究人员联盟，并与政府和国际机构，非政府组织以及行业的全球利益相关者和从业人员结合在一起。以下研讨会的目标与EFRI具有很高的共鸣：（1）基于在美国和目标国家共同研究的尖端研究的有效策略，以在安全水和卫生方面在科学和技术方面取得革命性的进步，同时将能力建立到高等教育机构中； （2）通过与社会和自然科学家合作的综合工程师团队探索创新的方法，以影响技术设计，接受和可持续性。 SGW国际研讨会将带来来自世界各地的利益相关者，以应对向发展中国家和新兴社区提供安全水和卫生的挑战。只有在用于使用它们的社会文化环境中开发的安全水和卫生技术方面的变革性进步才能解决这一挑战。这样的进步要求全球策略选择的学术，企业家，工业，从业人员，政府和非政府组织合作伙伴联盟。该研讨会将构成现有和新合作伙伴关系的基础。让所有的利益相关者，学术和其他方面，共同进行密集的研讨会，将允许在安全的水和卫生解决方案中建立新的范式，这些范式在技术上和社会上可持续。 这次国际研究和政策领导者对安全全球水具有既得利益的研究和政策领袖将代表：大学，国家机构，国际组织，非政府组织，行业和研究生。该研讨会将重点关注基础科学家，工程师，社会科学家，政策制定者和利益相关者的前所未有的参与，以制定一项计划，以解决目标国家的技术SGW需求，同时在本地可持续的社会文化环境中同时建立人类的能力和微型市场。研讨会的有针对性的结果是通过基于高等教育的国际合作的基础科学，工程和社会科学的界限制定和启动有关安全全球水和卫生的研究，这是一个范式转变，它将在对安全水和卫生问题的理解方面的理解中的基本进步，同时还可以使美国跨学科和国际教育环境能够更好地为全球学生做好准备，从而使全球范围内的研究变得更好。
