TN on Arctic Water, Sanitation and Health invites to the online summer school in June-July 2022
The topic of the summer school is a broad and introductory view on water, sanitation and health in cold climate regions.
We invite graduate level students, consultants and regulatory experts alike who intend to achieve relevant scientific, engineering and administrative knowledge and up-dated expertise for the sound development of suitable solutions for water treatment technologies under the harsh climate conditions of the high north to participate.
The teaching will consist of a series of webinars, interactive discussion fora, quizzes and webinars. The concept combines academic multi-media-based teaching with individual and group work solving relevant exercises and cases. The course is taking advantage of new didactical methods and an open source digital database supporting the course is already available.
