Future Water: Lessons learned and ways forward for transdisciplinary,cross-cultural water education

“Increasingly adverse effects of climate change, accelerating urbanization, overtaxing of resources and aging infrastructure pose a wide range of challenges for current and future water managers. The scale and urgency of these challenges require innovative, holistic solutions, often surpassing the scope of traditional civil and environmental engineering education. Nonetheless, few educational initiatives or academic programs exist that enable civil and environmental engineering students to develop water management solutions in a transdisciplinary, international environment. The international web seminar Future Water, now in its second iteration, is designed to bridge this gap by offering students, educators, and researchers from all over the world such an environment.”
