Programme in Water and Sustainable Development

Research Programme in Water and Sustainable Development


Thematic track modules


After joint introduction weeks in term 1, you follow six modules (term 2-7) based on your personal learning objectives and academic background. These modules are grouped in four closely connected and partly overlapping thematic tracks, based on societal water challenges and build on the available teaching and research expertise within IHE Delft. The modules are regularly adapted to reflect the latest needs and developments. Modules with five or more students registered will be offered. Within a thematic track, you choose a disciplinary profile.


Philosophy of Science and History of Water Wisdom


Module 9 addresses the fundamental question of what science is, and what makes research scientific. It introduces the philosophy of science from a cross-cultural perspective, placing philosophers and their ideas in a historical perspective.


You will critically assess and compare scientific theories and paradigms from different disciplines and study values and beliefs from different cultures. Through these perspectives, you will learn about the value of the multiple ways of knowing, understanding and researching water.


You will also focus on the role of science in societal debates and policy-making. Throughout the module, there is emphasis on research ethics and good practices for fieldwork, experimentation, (digital) technology, and data and referencing, including avoiding plagiarism.



Valorization


The Research MSc programme aims to enable students to apply and create new knowledge that informs solutions and interventions that address water challenges in inclusive and sustainable ways.

The valorisation module’s aim is to guide you in communicating the knowledge you gained in your thesis research. You will create an action plan that includes communication  to make your research results accessible to society and increase societal impact.

The module will strengthen knowledge and skills needed to use the thesis research to address societal challenges. You will communicate this information to audiences including those who are unfamiliar with the scientific approaches you have used in your research project.

Oil-adsorbing sponge

Image
  Oil-adsorbing sponge The words “oil spill” call to mind images of a large slick, perhaps floating on water. But many spills aren’t like that — the oil instead takes the form of microscopic droplets suspended in wastewater. Cleanup techniques such as booms or skimmers don’t work on these types of spills. A collaboration between professors   CHUL PARK  and  AMY BILTON   has produced a possible solution. Led by former graduate student Pavani Cherukupally, the team developed  a sponge that can remove tiny oil droplets from wastewater  with more than 90% efficiency, in just 10 minutes. Partnering for next-generation water treatments In developed countries, people expect clean, safe drinking water whenever they turn on their taps, but civil engineering professors  BOB ANDREWS ,   SUSAN ANDREWS   and  RON HOFMANN   know that this cannot be taken for granted. As members of UofT Engineering’s  Drinking Water Research Group (DWRG)...

Asterousia Hybrid University confronts sustainability challenges in water management

  Asterousia Hybrid University confronts sustainability challenges in water management Participants explored integrated approaches to water resource management in South-East Europe during Phase B of the 2024–2025 Asterousia Hybrid University. 23 April 2025 From the rugged coastlines of the Mediterranean to the mountain ranges of South-East Europe, the region’s natural beauty masks an escalating crisis. Environmental degradation, climate change and biodiversity loss are placing severe pressure on already fragile terrestrial ecosystems. Sustainable development efforts are struggling to keep pace. To overcome these complex and interconnected challenges, effective governance and more efficient management at all levels are crucial.  In response, the 2024-2025 edition of the  co-organised by MIO-ECSDE and UNESCO, focused on ‘Integrated Management in Biosphere Reserves and other Designated Sites of South-East Europe and the Mediterranean’. During Phase B, spanning 3 weeks in Jan...

Pure Water: The Unsung Hero Of The Lab

Image
Pure water plays a pivotal role in almost every life science experiment, diagnostic test or chemical reaction. It’s so important, there’s even a  high impact journal  dedicated to reporting on new water-based research and purification methods. Sadly, lab water still rarely gets the attention it deserves.   The Ultimate Dissolution Solution Without pure water, very few experiments, tests or reactions would be possible. Thanks to its favorable chemical and physical properties, water is often considered the ‘universal solvent’ as it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Perhaps even more importantly, many biochemical reactions will only take place within aqueous solutions. Ultra-Sensitive Analytics Some of the most interesting science being carried out at the moment pushes the boundaries of analytical sensitivity. Techniques such as inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) and ICP atomic emission spect...
