Climate change has a significant impact on the quality of drinking water, so interdisciplinary efforts are urgently needed to mitigate the risk of waterborne infections. This requires expertise in areas such as pathogen monitoring, diagnosis, public health, and infrastructure management. Against this backdrop, the “Engineering for Health” research cluster at TU Braunschweig is hosting a joint research module in English with the University of Nablus. Medical students from the West Bank and biology students from TU Braunschweig are participating in the module.
