University collaboration

University Nice Sophia-Antipolis and Polytech Nice Sophia, France

Around 275 students at University Nice Sophia-Antipolis and Polytech Nice Sophia are using the MIKE Powered by DHI software (MIKE 11, 21, MIKE SHE and MIKE URBAN) during the academic year in the different courses. The modelling tools are also used during the regular intensive courses - HydroEurope, HydroASia & HydroLatinAmerica - which are taking place around the world and which attract more 630 participants every year. The collaboration with the ACADEMY by DHI includes DHI teams regularly being involved in training sessions at the University. The MIKE Powered by DHI software now constitutes a core component of the water engineering activities at Polytech Nice and in the different associated courses.

Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Delhi, India

IITs are reputed as the highest rank of academic institutions in India. THE ACADEMY by DHI at India has a collaborative agreement with Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Delhi. This includes collaboration based on shared academic and research interests in the broad area of water modelling. At the beginning of 2014, more than 25 engineers and scientists from 9 states all over India were trained in MIKE Hydro Basin as a part of DSS Project at National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee.

Technical University of PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia

The ACADEMY by DHI together with the Coastal and Marine Department, Kuala Lumpur annually delivers training on Numerical Modelling for Coastal Engineering to the Civil Engineering undergraduates of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). The training focusses on MIKE 21 emphasising theoretical and practical aspects of real life cases with particular reference to Malaysia.

DHI-NTU Centre, Singapore

DHI-NTU Centre is established jointly by DHI Singapore (DHI) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with the support of the Environment & Water Industry Development Council (EWI).

The aim of the Centre is to generate new water knowledge and to strengthen the water & environment industry in Singapore via the development of innovative technologies and training of water & environment professionals. The Centre conducts research and provides training in the following areas: Industrial Water Management; Urban Planning and Water Management; Solid Waste Management; Environmental Impact Assessment; Cross-cutting Decision Support System (DSS) Tools and Technologies.

Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand

THE ACADEMY by DHI and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand, jointly conduct a six-day Master’s course on MIKE 11 on a regular basis. The course is typically attended by about 20 international MSc and PhD students. Other types of university collaboration include MSc thesis supervision at Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), Chulalongkorn University (CU) as well as BSc thesis supervision at the Irrigation Development Institute. In addition, one of our local trainers also guest lectures on flood modelling at Kasetsart University (KU).
