Name of the scholarship: EuroAquae+
Brief about scholarship:
EuroAquae+ EMJMD Programme is dedicated to international participants interested to develop their professional life within the water sector. This sector, especially in Europe with the effect of the EU directives on water and the needs to optimize the water efficiency, is undergoing a tremendous evolution of its business processes, which have been deeply transformed due to the introduction of ICT solutions including AI technics. Leak detection, water quality monitoring, real time and warning systems, climate change impact on resources, food-water-energy nexus are some of the topics that have to be addressed urgently in order to ensure a sustainable management of water resources. The concept of Smart Water associating deeply the hydroinformatics methods and tools, is emerging as the central paradigm for the modern water management to implement both in industrialized countries and developing countries. The European and industrialized countries have to face the maintenance and the renewal of aged water infrastructures that have to be turned into more efficient systems within a context of better resource management. The developing countries have to invest into the primary infrastructures and may benefit from the technological jump that is induced by the massive introduction of ICT solutions into the water domain in order to implement a more efficient system than the one defined and implemented by developed countries during decades.
