Water and Development

The objective of this joint teaching unit with AgroParisTech's specialized post-master's degree in Water Management is to provide students with a development background with guidance on the challenges and organization of development projects related to water (drinking water, sanitation, agricultural water).

This EU alternates between testimonials, feedback from experts and professional development actors on water issues, and testimonials from learners (Specialized Master's in Water Management) or students who already have international experience in the field of water or agriculture.

This course unit is open as an option to students enrolled in the Master's program in Water Sciences, subject to a limited number of places.
