They will spend time in all three universities and execute the master’s thesis in an university of their choice. Applications close on April 30 and classes will begin on July 29.

IIT-M Director V. Kamakoti said: “As we all collectively move towards meeting the objectives and milestones of sustainable development goals (SDGs), it is very important that we develop human capacity. Specifically, we must strive to instil knowledge in students, not about a single nation but about a global perspective on SDGs.”
Indian and international students with specified engineering backgrounds can apply. Governmental agencies, non-governmental organisations, and companies will be involved in internships and master’s theses.
Holger Schüttrumpf, head of IWW, RWTH Aachen said, the programme was launched to meet the challenge of climate adaptation that starts with water. “Motivated students are invited to apply for the programme to become future leaders in climate adaptation science,” he said.
