What is IWC?

International WaterCentre (IWC) is the business centre for building international capacity in integrated water management. IWC undertakes education, training, research and consulting activities to promote whole-of-water cycle approaches to water management. IWC is a Joint Venture of University of Queensland, Griffith University, Monash University and the University of Western Australia.

Vision

IWC aims to be a leader in promoting new ways of thinking about water management, consciously encouraging people to acknowledge the multi-dimensional nature of future water challenges and the critical role culture, politics and society have in shaping solutions. Recognising that water management requires experts from fields as diverse as sociology, science, economics and engineering, IWC brings together specialists from its four Australian universities and other knowledge partners to tackle water problems through interdisciplinary solutions.

IWC Outreach

Whilst located in Brisbane, IWC operates through the virtual network of the universities which are based in Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth with some physical presence in South Africa and Europe. The Brisbane Office acts as the facilitator, co-ordinator and project manager for the joint venture.
