The International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering (IMETE) is a Joint Master Degree Programme, taught in English, bringing together students and scholars from all over the world. 

In IMETE, you will become part of a new generation of environmental scientists. As a graduate, you will be able to design and apply state-of-the-art environmental technology and engineering solutions to tackle today’s global environmental problems.

​You will study two years at three leading European universities in 3 different European countries: the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (Czech Republic), Ghent University (Belgium), and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education (The Netherlands).

IMETE – call for applications

IHE Delft now welcomes applications from international and EU candidate students seeking admissions to the International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering (IMETE). The programme starts in September 2019, Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.

The IMETE programme takes two years to complete and starts yearly in September at UCT Prague. In February of the next year students move to Delft, the Netherlands, where they can choose between two tracks, "Ecotechnology" and "Advanced wastewater treatment technologies". An optional internship can be completed in Summer. In September students move to Gent, Belgium to choose between "Air" and "Soil" tracks in the 3rd semester. Finally, in February of the 3rd year, students start their thesis research at one of the three academic institutions or at an associated partner.

EM3E-4SW – call for application

The call for application (master edition 2019-2021) is now open. Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.

The Master in Membrane Engineering for a Sustainable World (EM3E-4SW) offers an advanced educational programme related to membrane science and engineering at the interface between materials science and chemical engineering and focused on specific applicative fields. It involves 6 Higher Education Institutions of 5 European countries:

• Université de Montpellier (France), coordinating organisation,
• Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier (Toulouse, France),
• University of Chemistry and Technology Prague (Czech Republic),
• Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal),
• Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain),
• University of Twente (Netherlands).

Associated partners are:

• Università della Calabria (Italy),
• Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium).

The pedagogical project of the master comes from the close collaboration between partners through the European Research Network of Excellence NanoMemPro.

The Master course has a duration of two years: 4 semesters spent in at least 3 different countries. In the first year, theoretical and practical fundaments are provided. After an integration week, students enter the Master either at Université de Montpellier or at Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier. During the second semester, students follow mandatory teaching units to acquire knowledge and skills on process modelling and simulation at the University of Chemistry and Technology Prague. During the second year, students choose to pursue their training in one of three university in order to acquire specific skills in an application field: Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (Universidad de Zaragoza), Energy and Environment (University of Twente), and Biotechnologies, Food and Health (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). The last semester is devoted to a 6 months master thesis in a university or an industrial company. The number of enrolled students is maximum 30.

The language of instruction is English. Students will be awarded with a multiple Master’s degrees from the three hosting universities, together with a Diploma Supplement.

Deadline for submission of applications for admission with an Erasmus Mundus scholarship: January 31st 2019 (mid-night CET).

Deadline for submission of applications without an Erasmus Mundus scholarship: May 31st 2019 (mid-night CET).

Every year, the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) awards three grants supporting international mobility and cooperation between European research teams in the area of corrosion and anti-corrosion protection at the world’s largest corrosion conference, EUROCORR. The grants are for early career researchers who would like to visit a foreign workplace under the supervision of experts as part of a short-term study stay.

One of the three grant recipients for 2019 is Darya Rudomilova from the Metallic Materials Construction Group at UCT Prague’s TECHNOPARK Kralupy. Rudomilova will have the opportunity to visit and work in Dr. Michael Rohwerder’s corrosion research group at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung in Düsseldorf, Germany, a world-renowned center for novel electrochemical techniques related to atmospheric corrosion. During her stay, Rudomilova will focus on the detection of hydrogen in the structure of high-strength steel using the SKPFM (Scanning Kelvin Sample Force Microscopy) technique. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) techniques are also available at TECHNOPARK Kralupy, and the collaboration with the Rohwerder group will allow their wider application in research and development projects.

A Conferral Ceremony of Doctor Honoris Causa upon Prof. Jiří Drahoš, former President of the Czech Academy of Sciences and UCT Prague alumnus, took place on Friday, 24 November, at the Dancing House (Tančící dum) in Prague.

Kobe University is pursuing further academic collaboration between Japan and Europe through its Brussels European Centre and Kobe University Liaison Office in Kraków. As a member of the Kobe University Advisory Board, Prof. Drahoš has shared his vast experience as President of the Czech Academy of Sciences to strengthen the international activities of Kobe University in Europe.

Recognizing his significant role and contribution to Europe, the Czech Republic, and Kobe University, Kobe University has conferred a Kobe University Doctor Honoris Causa upon Prof. Drahoš.
