The IPSWaT (International Postgraduate Studies in Water Technologies) scholarship programme was launched in 2001. Its aim is to support highly qualified young students and young scientists from Germany and abroad who are interested in attending German universities to acquire Master’s degrees that are international in outlook, related to water technologies, and taught in English.
The BMBF scholarship programme “International Postgraduate Studies in Water Technologies” is the direct implementation of a recommendation made in the “Action Concept: Sustainable and Competitive German Water Industry” (2000). The aim of the programme is to develop long-term international scientific and economic contacts in the water sector. Offering scholarships to young German and international scientists has the aim of supporting the international transfer of knowledge and technology in the field of water management and the integration of potential future decision-makers, also in developing and emerging countries. This will form an important basis for future cooperation activities.

Climate protection: fellowships of the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation for young leaders Each year the foundation selects up to 20 young qualified leaders to receive International Climate Protection Fellowships that bring them to Germany for twelve months. Before submitting their applications, they must have selected and established contact with an appropriate host university or institution, where they will carry out free, independent research on a subject connected with climate protection and resource conservation. The Humboldt fellows also engage in intensive discussion of their research findings, methods and techniques with their host institutions.
