September 1st 2005 is the starting date of two online courses that UNESCO-IHE and the Partnership of Water Education and Research (PoWER) are jointly offering. Besides an online course on Wetland Management, there will also be an online course on Integrated River Basin Management.
Both courses are based on training material successfully used in various formats, settings and regions. They are currently offered in full distance learning mode to attract those who do not have the time to take a course that lasts several weeks abroad and who like to combine education with daily work and have the possibility to directly apply acquired knowledge and skills.
More detailed Information about these courses is available on the UNESCO-IHE website:
