An emerging science, nanotechnology has great potential to tackle global challenges and contribute to economic growth.
With funding from Going Global Partnerships, the University of Lancashire and East China University of Science and Technology embarked on a collaborative research partnership to apply nanotechnology to a significant global challenge: lack of access to clean drinking water.
Their ground-breaking research has led to a proven, one-step solution for removing highly toxic pollutants from water, which has the potential to transform water sanitation globally.
Highlights
- Developed an innovative, scalable water treatment solution
- Supported the professional development of young researchers, particularly women, through collaborative training and exchange opportunities
- Conducted high-level policy engagement, including United Nations policy panels
- Developed an online joint teaching module for students in the UK and China
