The aim of this cross-disciplinary course unit is to offer students from various backgrounds the opportunity to organize an event-based project on a topical issue related to water, in line with their commitments, their career plans, societal challenges, and issues surrounding global transitions and change.
The project is led by the students, from its definition to its implementation during the event, with occasional support from teaching staff at key stages of the project.

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.

Water resources and their management are often addressed through knowledge and principles established in developed countries in temperate zones. However, countries in the South, starting with the Mediterranean and Africa, offer us an extreme diversity of social and environmental situations that force us to significantly change our perspectives and question the validity of certain approaches that are too far removed from the reality on the ground.
Researchers working mainly in southern countries draw on their practical experience to reflect on the specific characteristics of hydrological and geochemical processes in very dry or very humid tropical regions, the consequences of anthropization, and the challenges of sustainable water resource management.
A significant amount of time is devoted to the critical analysis of scientific articles dealing with water resources and their management in the South.
