 Water diplomacy is the two sides of dealing with water problems. On the one side, you have water. Water is the science of water, the hydrology, the ecology, the environment. Diplomacy is the human side, bringing people together in a way that they can listen to each other, in a way they can speak to each other, in a way they can find the shared values through which they can connect and have a conversation on their shared future over their shared water resources. Oregon State University and IHE Delft have been collaborating on water diplomacy for some 10 years. We have expertises which complement each other. At OSU we have mountain geography, we work with indigenous peoples, we have massive rivers that cross international borders, and of course IHE with all the expertise that's here, and the students who come and the faculty who come from all over the world. So we've been really good about pairing our expertise in order to address these very complicated issues on water and water diplomacy. Oregon State University and IHE Delft are collaborating on a university's partnership for water cooperation and diplomacy. We're connecting with eight other universities on five continents for the core partners and another 25 universities from around the world in research institutions are working together to share a research agenda where we can identify problems before they happen, where we can share curricula, workshops, capacity building, capacities, and most importantly probably is to train the students who are tomorrow's champions in this very difficult sets of issues so that our problems can be addressed ideally before a crisis develops, but if a crisis does we'll have the relationships to be able to resolve them very quickly in an atmosphere of peace and respect.
