Young Researchers’ Circle
(YRC)

Realizing the need for a network of active and motivated research-oriented individuals, a group of coherent individuals was founded in Spring 2020 by S4W-Nepal with a major focus on water-related research themes, namely Young Researchers’ Circle (YRC). YRC is a voluntary, independent, collaborative, and non-profit circle of young researchers/students with an aim to inspire and bring together young researchers in the field of water resources. YRC provides guidance and remarkable opportunities for early-stage researchers to embark on their accomplishments in research related to water resources management and become professional researchers in the future. YRC helps undergraduate/graduate-level students to develop their skills set for the design, implementation, completion, and communication of research projects. This circle attempts to promote citizen science-based water resource monitoring and management in the Kathmandu Valley and other parts of Nepal. YRC seeks to accomplish its aims via events, outreach programs, involvement in S4W-Nepal’s activities, and various networking opportunities. The activities of YRC include participation in S4W-Nepal’s activities, research works, publication of a bi-monthly ‘Young Researcher’ newsletter, and a fortnightly Environmental News Refresher.
