Projects:
I.Capacity Building in Integrated Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for One Health (WASH4ONEHEALTH) WASH4ONEHEALTH - Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge (usn.no)
Project funder: Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills
WASH4ONEHEALTH is a student, staff and research mobility project where the goal is to improve quality of education between higher institutions of Norway and Ethiopia. The partner universities in Ethiopia are Jimma University (JU), Kotebe University of Education (KUE) and Bahir-Dar University (BDU). They are selected based on the universities' growing demand to improve the quality of education programs associated with water, sanitation and environmental health.
II. Biofilms characterization for wastewater treatment (B4WWT)
Project funder: Regionale forskningsfond (RFF)
