Brief description of institution/organization
IHE's
vision is a world in which people control their water and environmental
resources in a sustainable manner, in which all sectors of society, particularly
the poor, can enjoy the benefits of the basic services. IHE's mission is to
contribute to the education and training of capable professionals and to build
the capacity of knowledge centres and other organizations in the fields of
water, the environment and infrastructure in developing countries and countries
in transition.
IHE offers a range of Masters and Ph.D. degree programmes, as
well as shorter certificate and tailor-made training courses. These courses
annually attract professionals of more than 70 different nationalities. IHE's
research and development activities, including Ph.D. research, focus on priority
areas of immediate concern to developing countries and countries in transition.
These activities also aim to contribute to the overall knowledge base in a wide
range of fields covered by each of IHE's main themes for research, education and
institutional development. Five research themes are distinguished at IHE. These
are: water security, environmental integrity, urbanization, integration and
information and communication. |
