INWAMA is an interdisciplinary Asian-European partnership project, which implements an advanced synergetic master degree course in the field of Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) to assist efforts directed to alleviate poverty caused by water scarcity and improve livelihoods. INWAMA¿s course focus on establishing and integrating innovative methodologies, guidelines, and tools to har-monise academic education concerning IWM in participating partner institutions. During the 30 months project the partners will focus on the elaboration of the Advanced Master Course which will be the test and evaluation for new course modules as well as for their didactic and technical implementation. Combining multidisciplinary experience from international scientists in a comprehensive course for master students a new approach is offered that integrates scale-bridging research technologies and participatory strategies to analyse the integrated environment system of river basins.
