Project Summary

EuroAquae+ EMJMD Programme is dedicated to international participants interested to develop their professional
life within the water sector. This sector, especially in Europe with the effect of the EU directives on water and the
needs to optimize the water efficiency, is undergoing a tremendous evolution of its business processes, which
have been deeply transformed due to the introduction of ICT solutions including AI technics. Leak detection,
water quality monitoring, real time and warning systems, climate change impact on resources, food-water-energy
nexus are some of the topics that have to be addressed urgently in order to ensure a sustainable management of
water resources. The concept of Smart Water associating deeply the hydroinformatics methods and tools, is
emerging as the central paradigm for the modern water management to implement both in industrialized countries
and developing countries. The European and industrialized countries have to face the maintenance and the
renewal of aged water infrastructures that have to be turned into more efficient systems within a context of better
resource management. The developing countries have to invest into the primary infrastructures and may benefit
from the technological jump that is induced by the massive introduction of ICT solutions into the water domain in
order to implement a more efficient system than the one defined and implemented by developed countries during
decades. The master contents have been jointly defined in order to address this diversity of situations and to
provide a holistic view of the situation in order to promote the development of relevant approaches.EuroAquae+
has been established to address the complexity of the challenges by adopting an innovative pedagogic approach
(Problem Oriented Project Based Learning - POPBL) and promoting the development of collaborative engineering
skills. During semester 1 and 2, participants gain knowledge and skills on hydroinformatics methods and tools
(water sciences and IT) in two different locations in Europe. In semester 3, they can choose a specialization
among the four proposed. Participants can also choose a short stay at one of academic partner institutions. In
semester 4, participants conduct their master thesis either within an internship with an industrial partner or with an
academic partner of EuroAquae+ consortium.The course is developed by a unique consortium combining leading
international academic institutions and major world companies for water and IT domains. The EuroAquae+
consortium is coordinated by the University Nice Sophia Antipolis and is offered in cooperation with 13 leading
international universities as well as 35 world leading companies and organisations from the water and IT domains
as associated partners.The 5 European partner universities will award to all successful participants a joint master
degree fully recognized and accredited within the 5 European countries.
