The face to face activities are now running in Incheon, Korea, from 22th to 27th of August!

Please visit the Workspace 2011 to see more on the activities of the different teams! 

HydroAsia is an Intensive Research Program within an academic framework, initiated by

• Tropical Marine Science Institute, National University of Singapore (Singapore)
• International Center for Urban Water Hydroinformatics Research & Innovation (South Korea)
• University of Incheon (South Korea)
• Danang University of Technology (Vietnam)
• Chuo University (Japan)
• Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University (Japan)
• Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok (Thailand)
• Beijing University of Technology (China)
• Tianjin University (China)
• Qingdao Technical University (China)

The objective of HydroAsia is to promote, in a global Asian vision, the key concepts, methodologies, tools and good practices which are essential for a sustainable water management. Today, problems related to water have become more and more complex and the analysis requires global and holistic approaches.

The collaboration of the partner universities, based on the use of the internet as a common working platform, aims to establish and share high quality teaching courses, and furthermore to strengthen links between students from the partner institutions in order to build up and spread the know-how of a sustainable water management in Asia. [see Concept for further details].

HydroAsia is supported by EuroAquae Consortium.

HydroAsia is a unique opportunity to develop professional skills and knowledge in the field of hydroinformatics and collaborative engineering. The provided study case - urban flooding in Incheon cit, Korea - is a perfect real situation where several approaches can be implanted in order to assess the flood and to elaborate engineering solutions.

Every year HydroAsia welcomes over 60 participants from more than 12 different countries and 10 international experts. The international atmosphere provides a unique opportunity to develop teamwork and communication skills and at the same time, to create a first professional network at the international level.

The online activities provide to the participants the possibility to work with a full collaborative environment combining communication and modeling tools provided by the industrial partners of HydroAsia.

HydroAsia is open to the students enrolled in the different master degrees of the partners' institutions.
