SIWI is a water institute. They leverage knowledge and their convening power to strengthen water governance for a just, prosperous, and sustainable future.
The idea that became Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) stems from three linked events in Stockholm in 1991. The Stockholm Water Festival invited the public to celebrate water on the streets of Stockholm, the Stockholm Water Symposium gathered some two hundred scientists to discuss global water challenges, and the Stockholm Water Prize, under the patronage of H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, was awarded for the first time, in recognition of outstanding achievements in water-related activities.
