International Summer Course
Decentralized low cost technologies for sanitation in developing countries. A case-study in India
The overall objective is to introduce students to the situation of urban sanitation in developing countries, current solutions for sewage and sludge management, and low-cost treatment systems. The course will be based on lectures given by specialists in process fundamentals, basics for design and practical application to real cases.
• Participants can attend either the complete course or only some MODULES. The cost of each module will be proportional to its duration (200€).
• As the primary target audience is undergraduate engineering students, the course orientation is rather theoretical with application to a real case. Anyway, the course is also open to any professional in the field.
Venue: TECNUN. San Sebastian. Spain.
Dates: June 23rd to July 4th
Timetable: Lectures from 9:00h to 14:00h in the mornings; the evening and week-end include time for organized cultural activities.
