The Novo Nordisk Foundation Water Summit: A splash for a sustainable future

On 15 and 16 January 2020 an extensive group of international water experts and scientists, including DHI’s Technical Director of Emerging Technologies, Henrik Madsen, put their heads together at a summit to identify the biggest urban water challenges, and discuss how research can contribute to solving these pressing issues. The summit was a joint initiative by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and DHI with the aim to figure out how to better cope with the water challenges we are currently facing. 

'The need is greater than ever. Today, there is a lot of talk about greenhouse gases, but the way we are affected by climate change is, in many cases, through water. We see this as a result of changes in rain patterns as well as natural disasters. As a global society, we are still far from solving these challenges', says Antoine Labrosse, CEO at DHI.
