With the ABCD-Centre, the project partners RWTH Aachen University, Asian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, United Nations University – Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) and Technische Universität Dresden are joining forces in an effort to address the global challenge of water security and climate change adaptation in a systematic manner. The ABCD-Centre is engaged in three intertwined research clusters:
– Cluster I: “Water Security, Water Resources Management, Secure Water Supply and Water Treatment”
– Cluster II: “Ecosystem Resilience and Nature-Based Adaptation Measures”
– Cluster III: “Transfer Strategies for Climate Adaptation: Traditional Knowledge, Local Economies and Societal Acceptance”.
Application deadline: February 15th, 2023.
In a nutshell:
– Target group is PhD students from the Global South (ergo IIT Madras qualifies),
– Supervisor has to be from RWTH Aachen, TU Dresden or UNU-FLORES,
– Research stay at any of those 3 institutions is funded,
– Funding of up to 6 months is more likely. Thematically, it should be broadly in the area of the three research clusters as mentioned earlier.
