The Wetsus doctoral program has grown in the 10 years of its existence to a prime example of smart, regional specialization on water technology with a strong European connection between research institutes and industry partners. The research in the Wetsus program takes place in close collaboration with 90 companies that actively participate in the research through paying memberships to focused and high trust research themes. All Wetsus researchers have at least three contacts per year with these industry partners.
The research objective of Wetsus is to develop innovative and sustainable water technology. In our vision, such technology must be:
Based on process technology
A potential breakthrough solution
Emission free
Part of an endless cycle (cradle to cradle)
Introduced into society by entrepreneurs
