Management of the MOOC series “Sanitation, Water and Solid Waste for Development” (2014 - today): The MOOC-series “Sanitation, Water and Solid Waste for Development” features courses about water treatment, solid waste management, faecal sludge management and sanitation planning.

Management of blended learning initiatives (2017 - today):  We offer highly adaptive training packages which are used by a large number of educational partners. In 2017/2018, we have piloted the "Programme of Open Studies" which combines online and onsite learning at partner universities. The pilot has been conducted with Kathmandu University in Nepal, BITS Pilani in India, and WASHTED in Malawi.
