My goal was [...]

Research Progress after Week One

COLIN LEONARD

After nearly a full week at UNESCO-IHE, I feel as though I am beginning to make some headway. I’ve managed to find, review, categorize, and annotate over 260 research articles, dissertations, papers and conference presentations on most of my research question categories.

The weather was uncharacteristically clear and sunny for springtime in the South Netherlands. I [...]
