Scholarships MSc & PhD in Hydroinformatics
Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 14:37HYDROINFORMATICS: MODELLING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
FOR INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT
Hydroinformatics uses simulation modeling and information and
communication technology to help in solving problems of hydraulics,
hydrology and environmental engineering for better management of
water-based systems. It provides the computer-based decision-support
systems that now enter increasingly into the offices of engineers,
water authorities and government agencies. The Hydroinformatics
course aims at enriching traditional engineering practice by
introducing innovative approaches in order to open up for the
participants much broader prospective.
The participants will learn subject groups comprising of:
1. Fundamentals, hydraulic and environmental processes
2. Information systems, GIS, communication and internet
3. Physically-based simulation modeling
4. Data-driven modeling and computational intelligence
5. System analysis, decision support and optimization
6. Applications : Coastal and estuarial systems modeling and Urban
water system modeling
7. Integration subjects
8. Advanced topics
The programme is not a standard engineering programme. We often
characterize it as a programme with difference. The difference arises
in the extensive application of modeling, information technology and
decision support tools for water management, in a challenging
training programme with professors and top experts from leading
universities and consultancies of various countries, that opens a
range of future career opportunities. The founder of Hydroinformatics
(Emeritus Prof. M. Abbot) does lecture at UNESCO-IHE. Participants
often mention that "the course opened up new horizon in my
professional life".
Most of the Hydroinformatics participants are financed through
Netherlands Fellowship Programme. For this year, the programme is run
directly to M.Sc undertaken for 1.5 years and the NFP will cover
tuition fee and living cost.

We would also encourage people to apply for fellowships from other
funding agencies, especially the World Bank - see
