Re: Funding opportunity to attend the 42nd WEDC conference - deadline 15th Feb

Hi Paresh, 

Thanks for your question. We would welcome applications from multiple authors and can consider covering the costs of multiple authors. 

Given the news today that WEDC are waiving the fee for participants from low- and middle-income countries, we don't anticipate that there will be need for our orginal offer of funding support to cover the registration fee.

But we welcome applications (emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to cover other necessary funds, such as internet credits. 

Thanks,

Alice

Re: Funding opportunity to attend the 42nd WEDC conference - deadline 15th Feb

Hi everyone, 

Calling early-career WASH professionals!

If you're interested in attending the WEDC conference, please do consider applying for funding support from the Sanitation Learning Hub. 

For successful applicants, the Sanitation Learning Hub will cover the cost of the registration fee, and provide feedback and advice on extended abstracts and presentations if required.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Equitable and Sustainable WASH Services: Future Challenges in a rapidly changing world”. Those selected will be expected to write an abstract and, if accepted, develop a presentation to deliver at the conference. In addition, selected authors will also be required to write a blog about your experiences and reflections from the conference.

Focus/themes
The WEDC International Conference seeks to create a safe, open and honest exchange and debate of experiences of the WASH sector within our changing environment. Presentations should focus on innovations, experience, ideas and learning contributing to further thinking about achieving equitable and sustainable WASH programmes at scale, sharing successes and failures of approaches and field experiences including lessons learnt, or introducing new knowledge or innovations. We are most interested on papers that focus on:
  • How sanitation programmes have developed strategies to ensure equity and inclusion (particularly at scale).
  • Community perspectives on the links between climate change and sanitation and hygiene.
  • How to create resilient WASH systems in rapidly changing, fragile or post-emergency contexts.
  • How strong and successful sub-national government leadership can result in area-wide ODF coverage which leaves no one behind.
  • How to reach the hardest to reach/people and communities in challenging contexts.
  • Building learning and adaptation into sanitation and hygiene programmes.
  • Learning from failure in WASH.
Criteria for applicants:
  • Applicant must be an early career WASH professional, with up to five years’ experience in the sector.
  • Be available to participate fully in the conference 13-15 September 2021.
  • Those from low- and middle-income countries are encouraged to apply.
Application process:
If you meet the criteria above and are interested in applying follow the steps below: If you have any queries regarding this process, please contact us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

///English

WEDC(Loughborough University, UK) will be organising their annual WASH conference online this year: 13-15 September 2021.
  The WEDC International Conference is a valued andrespected platform for reflection and exchange of knowledge and ideas that are rooted in practice. The title this year recognises that we face a future that is uncertain as the world is challenged by the impact of external factors, particularly climate change. The WEDC International Conference seeks to create a safe, open and honest exchange and debate of experiences of the WASH sector within our changing environment. It supports learning and sharing, which is critical for progress towards global goals and aspirations. The open-access repository of conference contributions will also support the sharing of experiences beyond the event and into the future. Over three days, the 42nd Conference will comprise:
 
  • ONLINE PRESENTATIONS and interactive discussions of peer-reviewed content
  • A POSTER GALLERY for summaries of WASH projects and programmes
  • AGENCY EVENTS from international organizations working in the sector
  • ONLINE EXHIBITIONS: a unique and valuable opportunity for exhibitors to showcase
  • their cutting edge developments, products and services
... and the opportunity for delegates to meet and network in our virtual rooms
 
Typically attracting more than 400 participants from research, practice and policy communities across more than 40 countries, this
is truly a unique international event.
 
The event is planned to be in English, but if any organisations would be able to help support other languages, I’m sure that would be very appreciated by organisers and participants.
