Training School on Urban Water Management and Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Development

[Maria Warter]

Dear Colleagues, 

The IAHS working group on Urban Water Management will organize a training school on urban water management and nature-based solutions this fall in Munich, Germany. 

Hosted by TU Munich, the 2-day training school will take place in from 7.-8.09.2026. 

Topics include nature-based solutions for disaster risk management, micropollutants in urban systems, sustainable urban land use planning for climate adaptation and integrated sampling techniques for urban watersheds. 

The course is meant for early career students (MSc, PhD), who are interested in or already working on urban hydrological systems or sustainable urban water management and development and want to dive deeper into urban water management and the use of nature-based solutions. 

The school is free of charge, but participants will have to cover travel and accommodation. Limited travel support for EU (up to 250€) and non-EU students (up to 1200€) is available. Lunch will be provided. 

Application deadline 29th May. 

Please send a short CV and motivation letter to urbanwatertrainingschool@gmail.com 

Please distribute this to any interested ECRs! 

Kind regards,
