Paper Abstract:
|
ED-WAVE is a developing project included in the Asia-Link Programme, a programme dedicated to the promotion of
regional and multilateral networking between higher education institutions in European Union (EU) Member States and
South Asia, South-East Asia and China. The ED-WAVE project is being developed by a consortium made up of three
Asian countries (India, Sri Lanka and Thailand) and three European countries (Greece, Spain and Finland). The goal of
this project is to develop a sustainable framework for e-Learning on technologies for conservation, reclamation and reuse
of natural resources. As a model example, this project focus on improving water efficiency by exposing the target groups
to real-life applications through virtual industrial and municipal environments created using IT based tools. The activities
would involve analysis of current water use status in select industrial and domestic sectors in Asia and EU, review of
potential technological interventions, simulation of impacts of specific technology interventions in the selected sectors
and translation of knowledge into electronic teaching material. The 2-year project is targeted at environment educators in
universities in EU and Asia and students enrolled in related courses; further, it would benefit end-users like industries and
municipalities, technical service providers, environmental practitioners and research organizations. |
