 Specialist Group on Modelling and Integrated Assessment is specifically dealing with modeling of complex systems and this is needed to get a good understanding of how these processes work with respect to challenges that we are facing like climate change, resource recovery, etc. Understanding is one thing, optimizing of complex integrated systems is very important and also straightforward. Now the reason why we want to engage young water professionals is actually two-fold. We want to mentor them on the one hand and on the other hand we also need more workforce to deal with all the things that we are doing in a specialist group. I think it's important that at a young age you train the leaders of tomorrow to be able to address these questions.
