About us

The Water Research Institute was launched in 2015 to address the grand challenge of sustainable water management for people and ecosystems in a changing world.

Our mission is to foster world-leading interdisciplinary research that will have strong impact and be used as evidence by decision makers. We do this by providing a creative environment where researchers from different disciplines co-design and co-deliver research with stakeholders and end-users to provide integrated understanding and solutions to tackle global water challenges.

Early-career researchers

We believe that early-career researchers are key to triggering an interdisciplinary community. Our early-career group includes PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from different disciplines across Cardiff University.

Since September 2018, our early-career group has been leading the Refill campaign in Cardiff.
