Water is a natural resource that is inextricably linked to the very presence of man on earth, since his first appearance on the planet. The object of this master's program is to provide knowledge related to the interaction of humans, living beings, abiotic factors and water from an ecological, technical, political, economic and biological point of view, under the intensifying conditions of climate change. An additional object is to conduct research related to the aforementioned interactions.
The master's program "Water, Biosphere and Climate Change" (Government Gazette 3019/9-7-2021 vol. B), is considered an innovative and unique program of its kind at the global level, given that it is the only one of its kind that approaches the issue of water as a natural resource on earth in a holistic approach, regardless of whether it is in excess, sufficiency or scarcity.
