Engagement

Making connections through the Kansas Water Institute

Meeting the water resource challenges within Kansas takes a head-on approach from all of us. KWI is working to bring together our colleges, communities, colleagues, and courses of study.

Upcoming Events

The institute helps support events at K-State and beyond. From documentary film screenings to symposia to panel discussions on the topic of water, the Kansas Water Institute has plenty of plans in store! Join us at any or all of our upcoming events. If you or your department is interested in working with KWI to sponsor outreach or engagement pertaining to water, get in touch with us.

Water Wednesdays

Each month, faculty and staff from every college, department and unit are invited to get together to learn about a new aspect of our work to solve difficult water resource challenges. These informal gatherings give everyone a chance to meet someone outside of their normal departmental groups, and to discuss new and exciting ideas about interdisciplinary research. Water Wednesdays are an excellent opportunity to pitch a new project and connect with colleagues.

 

 

 

CoSearch Workshop

The Kansas Water Institute hosted a unique workshop opportunity for faculty this fall in Manhattan (October 18-19). The K-State CoSearch workshop was an interactive and competitive two-day event where interdisciplinary teams innovated their water-related research projects, planned a complete proposal, and pitched their ideas to a judging panel. Our winning team, HydroInk Alliance, will be using their $250,000 prize to put their research ideas into action this year! Learn more about the day and our teams.
