COURSE APPROACH

The curriculum of the courses contains a selection of topics dealing with the design and management of hydraulic structures. Practical aspects are emphasised by focussing on gaining on hands on experience through computer simulations, field and laboratory measurements, case studies, etc. A two weeks field trip to the most significant hydraulic structures and famous sites in Egypt is part of the curricula.

COURSE VENUE AND ACCOMMODATION

The courses are held at the Regional Training Centre of the Hydraulics Research Institute, Delta Barrage, Egypt, located approximately 25 km North of Cairo. Full board accommodation has been reserved at the International Centre for Management Development at a walking distance from HRI. Participants in the course are expected to stay in this convenient accommodation. This centre offers good services, including recreational facilities.

FELLOWSHIPS

Candidates who require financial assistance to cover all or part of the cost of participation in the course are advised to explore possibilities with their employer or national government. If this is unsuccessful, HRI can be of assistance in identifying possible sources. Each course-year a number of fellowships are made available for participants from Nile riparian countries as a donation of the Netherlands= Government. Other possible sources include e.g. the EU, UNDP, ECA, World Band, African Development Bank, UNESCO, FAO and bilateral donors (Danida, CIDA, USAID, SIDA, FINNIDA, NORAD etc.) often related to development projects in the candidate=s home country.
