Are you a young professional with a special interest in water? Are you aged 35 or under? Start your water journey by applying for the chance to attend World Water Week 2025 free of charge.
This is a unique opportunity for successful applicants to receive a Full Access Pass to attend World Water Week 2025 on-site in Stockholm* from 24 – 28 August. The recipients of these tickets will be invited to an exclusive meet-up and lunch with the Arup delegation at Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre. They will get access to all conference sessions and exhibitions during the five-day event and they’ll have the opportunity to raise their professional profile by engaging in networking and social events.
Hear from a previous recipient, Claudia Prehn, who also went on to become a member of World Water Week’s Young Scientific Programme Committee in 2024:
“Thanks to the SIWI/Arup partnership and the Young Professional Ticket, I had the opportunity to learn, strengthen my network, moderate, and be a panelist representing the youth. The value of this initiative is not just to boost my CV but also the network and community it nurtures. During World Water Week, the importance of breaking down silos was emphasized repeatedly. To me, these initiatives are organic ways of achieving this goal. Our group had young people from the private sector, academia, entrepreneurs, activists, NGOs, and civil society. The interactions we had are how we bridge the space between sectors and promote collaboration.”
– Claudia Prehn, Steering Committee Member, IWA Young Water Professionals
Arup’s Global Water Leader, Mark Fletcher, on why Arup wants to help support access to World Water Week for young professionals.
“World Water Week is inclusive, engaging with young people across the world about issues that affect their lives and future from wherever they live, study and work. This support is focused on increasing access through engagement and empowerment for more young water professionals to actively participate.”
– Mark Fletcher, Global Water Leader, Arup
The Young Professional Tickets aim to help facilitate the intergenerational dialogues needed for real progress. Youth are the future leaders of today’s processes and discussions, but young people are also here right now. We look forward to welcoming you to this year’s World Water Week, a meeting place for collective water action.
The availability of these Full Access Passes is made possible by Arup.
*Recipients of on-site passes will not receive any additional support in terms of travel or accommodation.
