Internationale Zusammenarbeit
Since its establishment in May 2014, the INOWAS collaborates with research and education institutions from various countries. The cooperation includes collection and exchange of environmental data, development of case studies, students exchange, bilateral visits, specific laboratory and field investigations, conceptualization and implementation of web-based tools, joint organisation of international events etc.
