PhD in Integrated Management of Water, Soil, and Waste

United Nations University ( UNU ) was established in 1973 and is comprised of research institutes and programmes in 12 countries around the world. UNU is a research-oriented think tank addressing the needs of the UN System and its Member States, serving as a bridge to the academic world and offers postgraduate training and education programmes at various levels.

The Technische Universität Dresden ( TU Dresden ) is one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence and one of the top universities in Europe. As a modern comprehensive, multidisciplinary university, TU Dresden unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities and social sciences, as well as medicine. The broad and diverse scientific spectrum seeks to help promote interdisciplinarity and integration of science and society.

The Joint PhD Programme established at the United Nations University Institute for the Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) and the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at TU Dresden is one of the select doctoral programmes UNU currently offers.

The main objective of this doctoral programme is to provide graduate students with detailed knowledge, critical understanding, strategies, and tools to take an interdisciplinary and integrated approach towards the management of environmental resources.

The Joint PhD Programme aims at creating a new generation of environmental scientists, engineers, and managers to conduct, promote, and provide guidance on the sustainable management of environmental resources. These resources and their sustainable management are of concern to the United Nations and its Member States, particularly to developing countries and emerging economies.

Research Scope

The Joint PhD Programme of TU Dresden and UNU, launched in 2015, is embedded within UNU-FLORES’s nexus-oriented research agenda and the corresponding research interests at TU Dresden. The established doctoral research projects , co-supervised by researchers from UNU-FLORES and TU Dresden, are designed to reflect nexus thinking on particular problems of environmental resources management.

UNU taps on its research to inform policymaking and promote positive global change. The work of all UNU institutes contributes to the advancement of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015 to inspire global action to overcome the world’s biggest challenges. In line with the mission of UNU, policy relevance is a decisive feature or the research conducted at UNU-FLORES, and therefore also the research conducted by doctoral researchers.

While each individual doctoral research project must have a clear focus – preferably associated to a case study in a particular country – it must also be framed within the broad picture of integrated resources management as part of the Resource Nexus . The latter aims to connect the generation of evidence-based scientific knowledge to (adapted) management and policies, thus addressing also public services and associated risks.

Due to the focus on integrated management of environmental resources, UNU-FLORES’s research is mainly – but not exclusively – relevant for:

• SDG 2 ( Zero hunger ), e.g., related to sustainable intensification of agriculture, including safe use of wastewater in agriculture , the integration of organic waste into small-holder farming or water productivity in irrigated agriculture
• SDG 6 ( Clean water and sanitation ), e.g., related to water quality indicators and monitoring , nature-based solutions for wastewater treatment , monitoring of rural water supply systems or groundwater quality in wastewater treatment systems
• SDG 11 ( Sustainable cities and communities ), e.g., related to decision support frameworks for water resources management
• SDG 12 ( Responsible consumption and production ), e.g., related to integration of organic waste and wastewater into biomass production , nexus-oriented waste management
• SDG 13 ( Climate action ), e.g., related to climate impacts on water and soil management and respective climate adaptation strategies
• SDG 15 ( Life on land ), e.g., related to managing multifunctional land-use systems to secure soil- and water related ecosystem services , particularly in dryland areas
• SDG 17 ( Partnerships for the goals ), e.g., working with consortium partners to address the challenge of drought risk monitoring

Research projects may address these issues from various perspectives in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary manner, using a broad range of approaches and methods and building on a diverse set of both quantitative and qualitative data. Typically, our research projects – including doctoral research – are implemented with partners in respective Member States or from international organisations, universities, and research institutions.

About the Programme

The programme is the first international doctoral programme addressing integrated resources management in a truly holistic way. Prospective students are expected to come from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. To ensure that students have an evenly-matched starting point, and to introduce the basic concepts of the Resource Nexus, the programme comprises of 35 course credits (see Courses ) in addition to 175 dissertation credits. The total of 210 credits span over seven semesters. The credits are defined in terms of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

All coursework is science-based and all courses require basic knowledge in physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics at undergraduate level. In addition, the courses also require basic knowledge in the social sciences. Courses are offered by academic staff at both universities. In line with UNU-FLORES’s research agenda (see Research ) and a matching research agenda of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, research topics for doctoral dissertations are focused on solving current challenges related to the Resource Nexus.

Doctoral dissertations are co-supervised by advisors from both universities. Successfully graduating students receive a joint degree certificate.

PhD in Waste Management

Waste management curriculum structure.

PhD studies have at least 180 ECTS credits, with the previous total of at least 300 ECTS credits during the undergraduate and graduate academic studies, or 360 ECTS credits in the integrated academic studies of Medical Sciences. Doctoral dissertation is the final part of the doctoral studies curriculum, except for the PhD in Arts which is the part of the Art studies curriculum.

The outcome of the learning process

Diploma – Scientific name: Students are awarded the title Doctor of Science – Industrial Engineering / Engineering Management

Enrolment conditions for the studies curriculum: Only those students who achieved 300 or 360 ECTS credits during their previous academic studies can enrol doctoral studies. The studies provide students with certain number of ECTS credits, and the doctoral dissertation is credited with 30 ECTS points. There is the possibility of choosing elective courses.

The curriculum is designed to enable students to acquire knowledge, skills and competences not only in engineering and management but also in the systems and engineering management, which qualify them as waste management experts.

The subjects included in the PhD studies curriculum offer scientific knowledge necessary for independent research work. In addition, knowledge in the field of waste management provides students with high-level specialized qualification for practical work in the field of technical and technological sciences, industrial engineering and engineering management.

Doctoral studies curriculum consists of three compulsory subjects, four elective courses (students choose four out of eight offered courses). Besides, the curriculum includes two study research papers, one study research project and one scientific research project.

Based on the curriculum designed in this way, a student is capable of doing a study-research work, which is the part of the curriculum aimed at elaborating the doctoral dissertation objective and thesis. After defending the study-research paper and after the paper has been publicly accepted, a student can prepare and defend doctoral dissertation, which is the most important part of the studies curriculum.

The method of studies: The studies are performed in the standardized way in both Serbian and English.

Waste Management – doctoral studies curriculum

The curriculum covers three years of studies and provides students with 180 ECTS credits.

The objective of doctoral studies is to develop students’ knowledge and beliefs connected to Waste Management in which operational and strategic dimensions are integrated and which unify knowledge and competences. Because of that, students should possess developed competence and skill for using research and scientific methods and techniques, which will enable them to take into account coherence and coordination of all company activities with the aim of accomplishing common business goal with special accent on waste management as the integral part of sustainable development.

The aim of studies curriculum is to develop process thinking that gives a good base for understanding the idea of industrial waste, i.e. the idea of systematic and engineered approach to its management. Students will understand that companies are a part of the social, economic and cultural reality of existence and that the way of waste disposal, establishing of transversal relations, integrations, interrelational and horizontal strategies connected to waste disposal are highly important. Having acquired such knowledge, students will understand and believe that waste management can be based only on innovative solutions, and the basis of those solutions is in knowledge. In this way, our studies curriculum forms professionals who will contribute continually to the creation of new knowledge.

B2B: The New Realities of Waste Management: Producers' Liability to Be Extended

The MT Conferences section did not involve the reporting or the editorial staff of The Moscow Times.

Natalia Stenina Head of Real Estate and Construction Practice, PhD Pepeliaev Group

On Dec. 29, 2014, Russian lawmakers finally approved changes to production and consumer waste legislation that had been under discussion since 2011. One of the intentions behind the amendments is to adopt Western approaches to making producers responsible for waste management, including for recovering packaging (Federal Law No. 458-FZ, dated Dec. 29, 2014, "On amending the Law 'On production and consumer waste,' and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation, and repealing certain legislative acts (provisions of legislative acts) of the Russian Federation" (the "law"). Most of the new law's provisions came into effect on Jan. 1, 2015.

First and foremost, the law provides that producers and importers will be responsible for waste resulting from their products. They must therefore ensure that waste is recovered in line with standards that the Russian Government will subsequently enact, though the Government has not yet drawn up and adopted the applicable list of goods and items falling under the new regulation.

Producers/importers may take steps independently, by using their own waste recovery facilities and infrastructure, to eliminate waste that has been produced. Alternatively, they may contract a waste management operator for the same purpose. The entities in question will have to report annually on the degree to which they have met the waste recovery targets set for them.

For those unable to procure their waste as outlined above, the obligation to pay the so-called "environmental toll" will apply (this, in effect, is another tax or duty). It is presumed the new duty will be distributed through the state budgetary system to constituent entities across Russia with the aim of improving the local waste management situation. One way in which they will do so is by paying local waste management operating companies to process waste and build new infrastructure. The environmental toll will be based on the average aggregate costs of collecting, transporting, processing and eliminating each unusable item.

While the Government is yet to decide on the exact level of the new toll, experts and business representatives continue to argue whether it is a realistic option for a manufacturer/importer to deal with its waste independently. On many previous occasions, the business community has pointed out the hard reality is that no waste management infrastructure is in place in Russia and therefore paying an environmental toll, whatever this turns out to be, is an alternative in theory only.

The law further envisages the creation of a unified state waste record keeping system. Such a unified information system will summarize information about waste and waste management infrastructure, and will be publicly available. Each entity involved in the waste management sector will have a responsibility to report to the system.

Admittedly, the new regulation will inevitably lead to increased duties payable to the state for businesses that are already struggling to survive in Russia's new economic environment. For now, it is unclear whether or not this burden will be easy to bear.

The MT Conferences section did not involve the reporting or the editorial staff of The Moscow Times.

… we have a small favor to ask. As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $ 2. It's quick to set up, and you can be confident that you're making a significant impact every month by supporting open, independent journalism. Thank you.
