Collaborations
ICRE is conducting collaborative researches and joint projects with other institutions and universities all
over the world. Besides, we have an international collaborative network associated by ICRE alumni from
17 countries: science union for river basin researches and friend (SURF), for supporting ICRE students and
researches to pursue their studies in a different environment and collaborative project.

Graduate Education
ICRE promotes a combined master’s and doctoral
graduate program on river basin environmental
sciences. The program aims enhancement of the
students’ integrity by nurturing:
1) Borderless enthusiasm for knowledge and
technology in the field of river basin
environments
2) Ability to interact effectively (through
collaboration, negotiation, and leadership), a
global perspective, and the resilience to thrive
all over the world,
3) Practical skills for implementation toward
social solutions.
