The Geneva Water Hub's Science Policy Incubator Grant, launched in 2024 with a focus on water diplomacy, aims to bridge the gap between scientific research in the social sciences and policymaking.-

The policy brief format allows us to provide concise summaries on issues related to water for peace to decision-makers. These short articles are aimed not only at government policy makers but also private policy makers and all those interested in formulating or influencing policy.-

Left, Right and Centre is a water research insight series that brings together a wide range of ontological and epistemological perspectives on the politics and governance of shared waters. Depending on the specific topic, these short, policy-oriented articles may synthesize research findings, define Geneva Water Hub ‘positioning’ on contemporary issues, present new analyses, or provide specific policy recommendations.-

The Geneva Water Hub, in collaboration with the Canton of Geneva's Water Office, studied the Greater Geneva region as a 'living lab' to explore the practical challenges and opportunities of transboundary water management between Switzerland and France.-

Rooted in social science methods and theories, researchers with the Geneva Water Hub explore a range of topics related to water diplomacy, water sharing in transboundary and local settings, water justice, and the politics of water and land governance. We are particularly known for our pioneering work on water conflict transformation, for critical discourse analysis of hydropolitics, for critical perspectives on water infrastructure, and for the integration of variables such as power and politics in structuring water governance outcomes. -

The University of Geneva's Institute for Environmental Sciences has hosted the UNESCO Chair on Hydropolitics since 2015, collaborating closely with the Geneva Water Hub to develop research projects, create educational programs, and build bridges between science and policy. -
