Workshops were held to further progress discussion's that had benefited from ongoing research currently undertaken in both institutions with an emphasis on extending current methods used by the interdisciplinary expertise. Discussions covered data science approaches applied to health and well-being in cities that link water management, water security, and urban resilience.

The 神马福利影片 has a long-standing agreement with FAPESP (S茫o Paulo Research Foundation) which is the state funding agency for S茫o Paulo, Brazil, to jointly fund research projects between researchers from the 神马福利影片 and from the State of S茫o Paulo. This workshop is an outcome of this collaboration funded by the Warwick-FAPESP Joint Fund.
