Sustainable Water Management: Study Scholarships and Research Grants for Foreigners
for Graduates (S1/S2) & Scientists (Postdoctoral)
The Programme Objectives
One of the priority funding points to which the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) attaches particular importance in its Framework Programme on "Research for Sustainable Development is Sustainable Water Management (NaWaM): "One of the major challenges of the future is to ensure the supply of clean water to the world population. Population growth, water pollution and the increasing water consumption per capita have a strong impact on water quality. In addition, expansive climate changes and change in land use influence global and regional water cycles and thus question the medium and long-term availability of water."
In view of this background, the BMBF specifically promotes projects to develop, adapt and internationally disseminate technologies and strategies for the sustainable management of the resource "Water". Of particular interest in this context are the thematic fields of Water and Energy, Water and Health, Water and Nutrition, Water and Environment, as well as Water in Urban Areas.
At the centre of the DAAD Special Programme funded with the resources of the BMBF on "Sustainable Water Management" lies in the promotion of young scientists from Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Iran, Jordan, Vietnam and Indonesia.
The programme section on "Study Scholarships and Research Grants for Foreigners" offers highly-qualified Students and Doctoral Students from the above-mentioned countries the opportunity to study in specialised relevantly selected English-spoken Master's programmes at German universities, or, for carrying out their PhD projects in the thematic field of "Water in Urban Areas" in Germany. According to a forecast published by the United Nations, more than 60% of the world population – equal to almost 6 billion people – will have settled in urban areas by 2030. Today, the large majority of these already live in regions with inadequate infrastructures. In view of this development, new approaches to the urban provision and disposal as well as the protection of natural resources are required.
Who can apply?
In principle, applications are open to specialised highly-qualified Graduates and Doctoral candidates from the above-mentioned countries who have graduated from their studies in Engineering or Natural Sciences subjects.
