International research module at TU Berlin with RKI, DSMZ, Klinikum and the Centre for Climate Research Niedersachsen

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.

The international research module “Impact of Climate Change on Waterborne Infections and Drinking Water Safety” is a joint project between Technical University of Braunschweig and An-Najah National University Nablus (West Bank). The An-Najah National University Hospital is part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and is the only teaching hospital in the West Bank. This non-profit institution is the most important hub for medical services in the Palestinian territories and has rapidly developed into a scientific centre for healthcare since its foundation in 2013.
