The World Water Week programme is co-created with leading international organizations to give access to the latest trends and insights from many different fields. Here you find:  

• Sessions on a broad range of topics. For the most part, these are curated by SIWI but convened by leading organizations from around the world. 
• SIWI Scientific Seminars arranged by World Water Week’s Scientific Programme Committee. The topics of the seminars are chosen to delve deeper into different aspects of the year’s thematic scope. 
• Accelerators, which is a capacity-building programme run together with partner organizations. Currently, the focus is on communication and business, two perspectives of crucial importance to accelerate the shift to more sustainable societies.
