WaterCentre@KTH received a visit from twenty students from Iowa State University on May 29, 2019.

The students attends a Global Leadership course with accompanying study abroad. The course aims to develop leadership capacity to address global complex problems. The course also develops intercultural competence, perspective for global issues, processes for innovation, and sustainable outcomes.

According to the course teacher, the visit at WaterCentre@KTH helped to contextualize the work the students do. How WaterCentre approaches water related issues from an interdisciplinary perspective is a good model, and the visit gave the students an opportunity to explore leadership through a different lens.
