OSU’s Clean Water Initiative and CEOAS Hydrogeology jointly invite you to an ignite-type session on Clean and Smart Water, encouraging everyone who is interested in the intersection of clean water, AI/ML, sensors, etc. to join us on Feb 17 at 4-6 PM. The session will be held in Kelley Engineering Center (KEC) 1001 with a reception to follow in KEC 1005.

Sparked by conversations of harnessing water strengths at OSU in developing solutions to the world’s pressing water scarcity, quantity and quality problems, the goal of this ignite session is to connect researchers from the College of Engineering, College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, College of Agricultural Sciences, and College of Science, and begin to identify teams that can spark ideas for larger-scale proposals in the topic area of Clean and Smart Water.

• We invite individuals or teams of researchers to give short presentations that highlight the opportunity for new research collaborations between CEOAS, CAS, COS, and COE that address some of humanity’s biggest challenges around water access, quantity, and quality.
• Researchers who are already part of a team and need additional partners to move forward are encouraged to participate.
• Researchers who are interested in finding collaborators to take the next step of creating larger-scale proposals are encouraged to participate.
• Researchers from other colleges are encouraged to attend and present if there is the potential for additional synergy.

Format for presentations:

• 3 slides,
• 6-7 minutes including Q&A,
• identification of issue to be addressed
• rapid fire delivery
• demonstration of value of cross-disciplinary effort
