NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONS OF OUR INSTITUTE
Over the last few years, IAK has established collaborations with 31 foreign universities from 28 countries. This was largely made possible by the funding programs of, among others, the DAAD, the EU and the DFG. Current international cooperation is briefly presented on the subordinate pages.

Cooperation with research and business institutions
At the national level, the Institute for Waste Management and Circular Economy cooperates within the framework of many projects funded by the European Union or the BMBF with regional, national and international waste management companies as well as a whole range of other higher education and research institutions.
The cooperation includes the close networking with other institutes of the Technische Universität Dresden.
Particularly noteworthy here are the diverse relationships with universities and authorities in Vietnam, Latin America and Israel.
Exemplary for manifold international cooperation was the group of the Junior Research Group INOWAS. It was founded in May 2014 with financial support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and was active until spring 2019. At times, the research group consisted of up to 17 members. In addition to the group leader and a project assistant, several doctoral students (both financed by the project and with external funding) completed their research work in the project. The group had carried out its research activities at the Institute for Waste Management and Circular Economy in close cooperation with the Institute for Groundwater Management.
