  • 27.01.2025

The Centre for Water and Environmental Research (ZWU) at the UDE has been a pioneer in water and environmental research since its establishment in 2003. Whether it's urbanisation and biodiversity, climate change, or the availability and quality of water – the more than 300 scientists at the ZWU tackle these issues in an interdisciplinary manner, placing waterer and the environment as central life resources at the centre of their work.

At the heart of the ZWU’s efforts is water research, which is coordinated by the centre and is a strategic research area for the University of Duisburg-Essen. Key topics include aquatic ecology, water treatment, environmental toxicology, water management, and hydrology. The expertise spans from hydraulic engineering to water governance, integrating technical, legal, and economic perspectives. The ZWU generates knowledge that enables sustainable solutions for the future. The new ZWU image film offers insights into its research, network, and innovative approaches to solutions.
