Sustainable Water Management Doctoral Training Programme

Project description

Training sustainable water management experts of the future

Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the Water4All project is an interinstitutional research effort that aims to offer cutting-edge research and training opportunities to 20 highly competitive doctoral candidates. Water4All is constructed by integrating interdisciplinary academic and scientific training modules such as environment, electronics, planning, materials science, and energy. Academic training is coupled with a well-defined set of academic/non-academic international/national secondment trainings and with a series of common trainings in soft and transferable skills. Overall, Water4All is expected to increase European competitiveness by providing a new generation of highly-qualified experts able to translate research results from applied sciences into scientific and technological solutions.

Objective

The Sustainable Water Management (SWM) doctoral training programme, Water4All, brings together complementary expertise of a
diverse group of researchers from 4 leading universities to offer unique interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international research and
training opportunities for 20 highly competitive Doctoral Candidates (DCs). The leading academic institutions from the biggest cities
in Turkiye are Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH-beneficiary), İstanbul Technical University (ITU), Gebze
Technical University (GTU), and Middle East Technical University (METU). Water4All is constructed by integrating
academic and scientific training modules which cover different aspects of sustainable water management. The main modules are
identified as Environment, Electronics, Planning, Material Science and Energy, and each has different angles of training on research
and expected outcomes. In this respect, academic training of DCs in Water4All is constructed in a modular approach that is
interdisciplinary by nature. Academic training is coupled with a well-defined set of academic/non-academic international/national
secondment trainings – highlighting the international axis of the proposed Programme-, and with a series of common trainings
granted to each DC in soft and transferable skills. Water4All will widen the career perspectives of DCs by enhancing their professional
experiences through the inclusion of secondments in renowned international and national academic institutions, private companies
and public utilities, ensuring intersectorality and internationality through these collaborations. Thus, Water4All will increase the
national, regional and European competitiveness by providing a new generation of highly-qualified experts in SWM that are able to
translate applied science research results into solutions. Supervisors selected for Water4All have previous and/or ongoing industry
consultancy/research collaborations.
