Academy of Nanotechnology and Waste Water Innovations is an initiative to promote and educate the society with the concept of nanotechnology and environmental sustainability. ANWWI is a platform for academicians, educationists, industries, environmental protection agencies and Government bodies to collaborate for common goal of sustainable future. We offer short term courses and consultancies in this domain for academic, research and industrial skill development.

Sustainability is the need of today to protect our environment for our future generations. Our mission is to implement and disseminate our knowledge and understanding for nanotechnology, material development and environmental sustainability through our courses and program. This is to establish an equilibrium between sustainable skills and industrial development. The mission of Academy of Nanotechnology and Waste Water Innovations (ANWWI) is to build up a network of scientists and innovators to exchange ideas in order to: Enlighten the global science community. The importance of science for science driven activities and material applications. Draw the attention of researchers for the applicability of nanotechnology in basic and applied science, engineering and technology. Explore the challenges in material applications, product developments and providing sustainable solutions. Combine water based research and innovations with water recycle, reuse and reduce the cost. Bring the society and communities together through awareness program. Participate in science engagements with local and global academic institution for science awareness at primary, secondary and tertiary educations. Raising funds for research for society, community and nation development. Develop a safe and sustainable environment for future generations.

Are we prepared for the healthy future? Are we doing enough for the sustainability? How we can contribute maximum through our skills for sustainability and circular growth economy? These are few questions that form foundation of or vision to bridge the gap between the intellects from different spheres of our society. ANWWI initiates the dialogues to fill in these gaps and allow the doors to open for working together for the common mission to educate, evolve and protect and promote the green economy. Learning is a process that must include the conceptual knowledge to the real time applications. Our vision is focused on: Developing innovative aptitude in young minds. Introducing the learning without limit concept. Securing the experienced knowledge and skills. Multiplying the conceptual knowledge into various science and technology projects.
