The quality of water is of fundamental importance for human health in all areas of life. Unsafe drinking water is one of the top 10 global health risks.
In order to do justice to this topic, the Interuniversity Cooperation Centre for Water and Health was founded in 2013. Partners are the TU Wien, the Medical University of Vienna and the Karl Landstei- ner Private University for Health Sciences.
Research and Teaching
Our Center has two main focuses – research and teaching at the international level and scientific expertise in the areas of water and health as a competent partner for both the public and private sector.
Innovation
Driven by a holistic approach, our activities emphasise on the development of innovative microbiological, biomolecular and physico-chemical methods as well as well as numerical models for water quality investigation.
Societal relevance
Our scientific findings are used to derive effective and sustainable management policies related to the use of water such as for drinking, bathing and medical purposes.
