INSTITUTE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT AND CONTAMINATED SITE TREATMENTINSTITUTE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT AND CONTAMINATED SITE TREATMENT
History Part of the Faculty of Forestry, Geo and Hydrosciences
Founded in 1995, as cooperation of two chairs:- Chair of Waste Management- Chair of Contaminated Site Treatment
System Analysis and Computer Science also joined later
Pirna, upon the banks of the Elbe River
(15 km SE from Dresden)
Location
About 40 people (education and research): chemists, geologists, civil engineers, microbiologists and computer scientists
Staff members
Basic training and education focused on:
- German diploma/master’s study course;- International master program: “Waste Management and Contaminated Site Treatment”
