The side-event will debate the new science of water and present innovations and potential applications that those researchers are bringing. The event has the objective to create bridges between the water sector and the frontier research on water properties. To do so, during the side event will be launched the “New York Statement on Molecular Structure of Water” to raise awareness about the importance of this new science of water as a tool to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
