Centre of Expertise Watertechnology (CEW)

The Centre of Expertise Water Technology (CEW) is the leading innovative work and learning center for applied research on issues across the entire water cycle. Together with students, businesses, and educational institutions, we conduct research on water-related issues directly arising from the field and society. This way, we collaborate on solutions to the impact of climate change and train the next generation of problem-solvers.

We believe that water is both the unifying factor and the greatest challenge of the next century. Water is everywhere. Clean drinking water is becoming scarcer, and companies are no longer able to connect to water sources. The way we manage water needs to change. And CEW can help. We conduct applied research on issues across the entire water chain. For example, consider a company that wants to reduce its water consumption or one that simply wants to gain insight into its actual water consumption. We then collaborate with you to develop smart solutions. This requires expertise from various disciplines, including the natural sciences, the arts, and the social sciences.
