Water and Environmental Studies (WES)

WES is a nationally and internationally established centre for multi- and interdisciplinary research and education, where natural and cultural scientists collaborate in search for knowledge across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. The research covers a spectrum of environmental issues and questions in the borderland of nature-society and is continuously examining its future role in facing new challenges.

WES will
• be an international research centre within the area of water and environmental research
• carry out multi- and interdisciplinary research and education with high relevance for a sustainable development
• produce qualified graduates with the ability to integrate and communicate natural and cultural science perspectives
• be a platform for international visiting researchers
• communicate and cooperate within academic networks, external partners and stakeholders.
