The Louwes Fund was established to undertake research on both water and food at Leiden University and the University of Oxford. The Oxford Water Futures Programme (formerly the Oxford Centre for Water Research) has established both the Louwes Scholarship and the Louwes Fellowship.
Professor de Chazournes delivers the 2009 Louwes Lecture on the development of International and National Law concerning the use of freshwater, environmental issues and the international laws protecting people's human rights to fresh water.
