Cooperation on water security
The
university as a body actively cooperates with local, regional, national, and
global governments on water security. Faculty members are members of special
water commissions created under local, regional and national governments that
discuss and develop recommendations on water security and the university has Memorandums of Understanding with them. “TIIAME” NRU is an active participant in TEMPUS, ERASMUS MUNDUS, and other educational and scientific programs of the
European Union, the United Nations Development Program, the programs of the
World Bank, ADB, JICA (Japan), USAID (USA), GIZ and BMVF (Germany), IWMI,
