Portfolio course, i.e. individually composed course plan based
on
pre‐identified activities, e.g. participation in annual 2‐days
progress
seminar, technical excursions, seminars, article discussion
Club.
Main objectives of the course are to establish a professional
framework for PhD students, companies and universities where the
PhD students can develop shared professional outlooks and discuss
future research initiatives. The course will act as an ”incubator”
for specialists within the urban water technology field and a
vehicle for strengthening the R&D co‐operation between
companies and university partners. In this way the course will
provide the PhD students with a broader perspective on the
individual projects and give inspiration for the future
carrier.
