Summary

The ICP connect project linked to the VUB-KU Leuven Master of Water Resources Engineering contributes to sustainable water resources management. The project activities ensure that the graduates of our master’s programme can act as change agents in their home countries. This is achieved among other things by offering master thesis research opportunities and integrated projects to master students focused on real-world cases and challenges in the Global South in close collaboration with local partner institutions. Networking and collaboration with partners in the Global South in the organisation of such integrated projects, joint thesis supervision, but also semester exchange, the development of eLearning modules, and research collaboration will improve academic education and research in the domain of water management. Through our large alumni network, we will provide networking opportunities, webinars and refresher courses for lifelong learning.
