Water Justice in Muslim Societies: A Scoping Workshop
An ISRF-funded research workshop bringing together scholars from across disciplines to explore water justice through a comparative lens across three major river basins of the Muslim world: the Indus, the Nile, and the Euphrates–Tigris. The workshop welcomes scholars from economics, history, anthropology, political science, geography, hydrology, engineering, theology, systems analysis, data science, and related fields. The event will provide a collaborative, exploratory space to take stock of existing knowledge, identify critical comparative research questions, connect political economy, history, technology, ethics, and data and help shape a longer‑term, interdisciplinary research agenda. Keynote speakers include Professor Bob Allen (Nuffield College & NYU Abu Dhabi) and Professor Jim Hall (Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford).
Department: Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, Oxford Department of International Development, Oxford Water Network

Powering intelligence – AI and the drive for sustainability
From optimising energy systems and transforming research methods to enabling smarter infrastructure and more informed decision-making, AI is opening new parthways towards environmental progress. At the same time, the rapid expansion of data centres and digital infrastructure brings growing energy consumption, water use for cooling, and increased demand for critical materials. The panel will examine how these pressures can be reduced through a range of approaches, such as advances in hardware efficiency, smarter system design, renewable energy integration and more transparent reporting.
Department: Kellogg College (College)
Speaker: Dr Felippa Amanta (DPhil student in the Environmental Change Institute), Dr Kevin Grecksch (Kellogg Fellow; Associate Professor of Water and Environmental Governance, School of Geography and the Environment), Dr Yee Van Fan (Senior Researcher in Digitalisation, Circular Economy and Net Zero Energy programme).
