• IHE Institute for Water Education (the Netherlands)
• Technische Universität Dresden (Germany)
• Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon (Portugal)

The programme offers a distinctive curriculum built on the cornerstones of hydrogeology, hydrology and climatology. With this curriculum GroundwatCH aims to increase the knowledge and skills regarding the interactions between groundwater, surface water, climate and global change, as well as the need to consider and benefit from these interactions when dealing with adaptation.The students kick off their studies in Lisbon, Portugal and then go to Delft, the Netherlands and Dresden, Germany. Graduates will receive MSc degrees from the three partnering institutes.
