The research carried out by UNESCO-IHE aims at increasing access to safe, sufficient and affordable water for people. It is trans-disciplinary, holistic and applied, and is positioned mainly within an urban and peri-urban context, including centralised and decentralised approaches, advanced and low-cost technologies, and engineered and natural systems. Beside technical, technological and engineering aspects of WASH, UNESCO-IHE also addresses its societal, economic and institutional aspects. A current focal area is emergency sanitation (emergency kits and technology, Emergency Sanitation Operation System - eSOS©).
