Training School on Integrative Urban Water Management and Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Cities

The training school aims to bring together researchers and early career students for an introduction to urban water management and the use of nature-based solutions for sustainable cities. The goal will be to share multi-disciplinary perspectives and research on urban water management through classroom lectures, interactive group activities, practical exercises and field visits, to give a basic introduction on the diversity of the research on urban hydrological systems. Topics include nature-based solutions for urban cooling and wastewater treatment, urban flooding, ecohydrological processes in urban ecosystems, sampling techniques for urban water bodies, and sustainable urban development. The course is meant for early career students (MSc, PhD) that are interested in or working on urban hydrological systems, or sustainable urban water management and development. Join us to explore urban hydrological research from an interdisciplinary perspective and stimulate new research ideas and approaches for future research!
