Call for Application - Engineering for Development (E4D) Winter School 2015
The E4D Winter School "Global Water Challenges" has a few places left and accepts applications from Master and PhD students on a rolling basis (mainly for the case study Water & Food).
The E4D winter school 2015 aims at an integrated vision of Global Water Challenges. The programme is designed to present water resources challenges that are of global relevance. Experts will outline the issues and will present their experiences working in different parts of the world. The programme will focus on three main topics: Water & Health, Water & Food, and Water & Energy, but it will also explore the links between these topics and the roles of institutions in addressing global water challenges. Participants will learn about the complexities of water policies and they will be challenged to assess technological solutions in a broader societal context.
The three week program will be held in Switzerland from 3-23 January 2015. The first week will be taking place in a seminar house near Berne, the second and third week will be held at ETH Zurich.
The course is worth 4 ECTS credits.
