BGN Technologies, the technology transfer company of the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), in coordination with Northwestern University, have announced the launch of a US-Israel consortium run by both universties with the aim of developing new technologies to be used to solve global water challenges.
The program, called the Collaborative Water-Energy Research Center (CoWERC), looks at the intersection between water and energy; specifically, researchers aim to develop and commercialize technologies supporting energy-efficient enhanced water supplies, wastewater reuse and resource recovery, and energy-water systems.
