- Abstract
- Water is among the 21st century’s key development issues. The Project Exceed of Braunschweig University addresses the MDG 7/C ‘‘Ensure Environmental Sustainability’’. Based on the world-wide network of 35 partner universities in 18 countries on 4 continents, this Excellence Centre focuses on capacity building in developing countries through training and networking. To achieve these goals, the existing study programs at partner universities related to sustainable water management are analyzed and upgraded; new courses are initiated for further education of scientific and technical staff at universities, enterprises, and public authorities. Summer schools, international workshops, and expert seminars as well as an intense exchange of students, young scientists, and academic teachers in all directions, south-north, north-south, and south-south, are organized for capacity building. The same topics are also the subject of joint teaching and research activities at Exceed member universities and the International Exceed Guest Chair and Team established at the Braunschweig University.
