For students
Water does not stop at regional or political borders – and protecting this essential resource can only be achieved through joint efforts. At Dresden University of Technology, several bilateral EU Interreg projects (co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and supported by the university’s European Project Centre) are currently focusing on the topic of water. They shed light on a wide range of aspects: from the monitoring of watercourses and the quality of wastewater treatment to aquatic biodiversity and the sustainable use of water systems in European cities. The lecture series offers insights into current research projects and shows how cross-border cooperation works in science and in practice.Water does not stop at regional or political borders – and protecting this essential resource can only be achieved through joint efforts.

Training new specialists in water management is key to addressing current and future challenges related to water pollution. The project connects students from various fields in both countries, providing them with practical experience in the field and laboratory. Joint educational activities promote interdisciplinary and international cooperation already during the study phase.
a) laboratory exercises and lectures,
b) excursions including sampling/analysis and assessment of water bodies and wastewater treatment plants,
c) summer schools and workshops,
d) course evaluation; adaptation of implementation; design and testing of integration into ongoing modules (recognition of teaching performance, credit points).
