About the Project

Project Description
INOWASIA pretends to train this new generation of young Southeast Asian water professionals with a strong and multidisciplinary background in sustainable water management, with a global view of the sector current and future challenges but with a specific approach to the local demands, and the required soft skills to join and lead the water sector market.
Preparation
This work package focuses on establishing the foundations required for the successful development of the project. It includes mapping existing water-management programs, identifying skill gaps, and analysing the needs of partner universities in Southeast Asia. WP1 also defines the academic, technical, and administrative requirements for developing new modules and Living Labs. Its goal is to ensure that all partners share a common understanding of objectives, terminology, educational expectations, and methodological approaches before starting implementation.
WP2 Development I: Modular Curriculum Development & Teaching Capacitation
WP2 involves the creation of a complete set of academic modules covering key topics in water resources, sustainability, circular economy, and modern water-management techniques. These modules are designed to be flexible, allowing integration into Master’s and PhD programs of partner universities.
This package also includes teacher training:
capacity-building workshops,
training sessions on blended learning tools,
methodological coaching for problem-based learning (PBL),
and the co-creation of teaching materials.
The outcome of WP2 is a fully developed, ready-to-teach modular curriculum aligned with international academic standards.
WP3 Development II: Implementation of the Modules & Water Living Labs in PC’s HEI Campus
WP3 puts WP2 into action. The newly created modules are deployed within participating universities through pilot courses, student projects, and hands-on training activities.
A core component of this WP is the establishment of Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs) on each campus. These labs act as real-world environments where students, researchers, and stakeholders can experiment with water-management solutions, collect data, and apply the theoretical learning from the curriculum.
WP3 ensures:
practical training through fieldwork,
testing and validation of course content,
and engagement between universities and their local water-sector ecosystems.
WP4 Quality control
This work package guarantees that all activities, materials, and outputs meet academic, scientific, and administrative quality standards. WP4 establishes monitoring mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and internal review processes.
The tasks include:
continuous assessment of module development,
review of Living Lab implementation,
performance monitoring of student outcomes,
and verification that the project aligns with EU quality expectations and local accreditation requirements.
WP4 ensures that improvements are made whenever necessary and that corrective measures are implemented promptly.
WP5 Dissemination & Exploitation
WP5 is dedicated to communicating the project’s progress, achievements, and results to the academic community, water-sector stakeholders, public authorities, and society.
Activities include:
developing a communication and branding strategy,
maintaining the project website and social media presence,
organizing seminars, conferences, and demonstration events,
preparing publications and educational materials,
and promoting the long-term adoption of the modules and Living Labs.
WP5 also addresses exploitation, meaning ensuring that the project outputs remain accessible, sustainable, and replicable after the project's end.
WP6 Project management
WP6 coordinates all administrative, financial, and operational aspects of INOWASIA. It ensures smooth collaboration between all European and Southeast Asian partners.
Responsibilities include:
managing the project timeline,
monitoring budget execution,
organizing consortium meetings,
reporting to the funding agency,
ensuring compliance with Erasmus+ rules,
and addressing risks and unexpected challenges.
WP6 acts as the backbone of the project, ensuring accountability, coordination, and successful delivery of every work package.
