• PartNaR - Strengthening Transformation: Participatory Planning and Natural Resources Management
  The DAAD programme “Transformation partnerships with universities in the transition countries" in the MENA region aimed to establish new curricular contents and sustainable academic structures at participating universities. A strong need for interdisciplinary competencies was identified in order to equip engineers and graduates of other applied sciences to meet the demands of a changing society. The PartNaR project "Strengthening Transformation: Participatory Planning and Natural Resources Management" ran as academic cooperation between the Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ITT) as an independent unit of the TH Köln Univerity of Applied Sciences and the two Departments of Water Resources and of Urban Planning of the Faculty of Engineering at the Ain-Shams-University (ASU), Cairo. In the scope of the project curricular contents were revised, contemporary higher education didactics devised and exercised; it also contributed to advances in good university governance at the ASU, and connected in a science-society dialogue by a final, national high-level conference in Cairo. Project lifetime 2011- 2015 (4 years)

• Sustainable Urbanization in the Paris Agreement
  The project "Sustainable Urbanization in the Paris Agreement" was conducted by a scientific consortium under the lead of the Network RecNet - Recycling the City. The network consists of urbansim scientists in Europe and Latin America, and is hosted at the UNESCO chair for Sustainability at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Barcelona. In 2016, the consortium detailedly analysed the contents of the INDCs, the National determined Contributions as the dominant new mechanism of climate change action by the UN member nations in regards to the urban CC adaptation and mitigation as well as the national priorities in defining CC challenges and their demand for global partner support. In that line The chair of urban and regional management at ITT / TH Köln devised the database and the majority of INDC analyses that lay the ground for the publication of UN Habitat "Sustainable Urbanization in the Paris Agreement" that was introduced at Habitat II conference in Quito in October 2016, and launched at COP 22 in Marrakesh a month later. Currently, first subsequent research into national and local case studies is under preparation. Project lifetime: 2016 (6 months)

• CEO - Competencies for Entrepreneurship and Employability Opportunities
  CEO is a structural development program with the Faculty of Engineering (FoE) in Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. Based on the GESR program line, the first interdisciplinary national master programs in Egypt were developed, and regular exchange established. CEO targeted to enhance the structural cooperation between the two departments / faculties on Master level. three institutional entities are supported at FoE and linked with their counterparts at TH Köln, namely the International Offices, the higher education didactics departments, and the entrepreneurship specialists. Students related activities as spring, summer and fall schools in international and interdisciplinary settings, with focus on sustainability entrepreneurship (with the partner cewas from Switzerland) and on Employability. The topics are built on the interdisciplinary program 'Interdisciplinary Master on Resource Efficient Cities' (IMaREC) at ASU, that was co-developed between TH Köln, ASU and three further partners from Mexico, Indonesia and Kenya and the NRM study program at F12/ITT. A similar link on Integrated Water Ressources Management is in preparation. Further project members are Prof. Dr. Sabine Schlüter and Prof. Dr. Lars Ribbe. Funding: BMBF by DAAD / 01.2019 - 12.2021 (3 years)
• Hybrid Teaching and Learning Communities hyTLC
  hyTLC targets international partnerships in digital teaching and learning. It creates new and innovative forms of digital learning materials and hybrid teaching and examination formats (virtual field trips, role plays and role play exams, etc.). The project was acquired for the ITT and thus is formally led by the acting director, Prof. Dr. Sabine Schlüter. hyTLC is funded through DAAD from fall 202 until Dec 2021.

• ADaePT
  The project "Adaptive Master Programs for Adept Graduates Global Change Agents Towards Sustainability Transition" targets the creation ig fully digitally available learning tracks for the students in the international master programs at faculty 12 / ITT. Highly flexible students journeys respond to the conditions of the pandemic, but will be of lasting value at they cater to the demands of individualization in a student-centered teaching and learning approach. Tis includes fully digital, partly digital, presence and distance, real-time and asynchronous formats, in short a highly flexible, hybrid from. The design shall contribute to opening up and further diversifying the the master programs. This will allow toto reach out to students mainly in the Global South not targeted so far who may be unable to participate due to personal, financial, socio-cultural, or other reasons. Funded by DAAD and co-managed with Prof. Dr. Sabine Schlüter.

Monographie

• Sustainable Urbanization in the Paris Agreement - UN Habitat
  Lead Author, online, Hg.: UN Habitat
  ‘Sustainable Urbanization in the Paris Agreement’ – a comparative review of Nationally Determined Contributions for Urban Content”, a UN-Habitat publication coming on the heels of Habitat III and launched at COP-22. The adoption of the New Urban Agenda (NUA) on 20 October 2016, and the entry into force of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change two weeks later, on 4 November 2016, are a strong first step toward the immediate implementation of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, in urban- and climate change related matters. In this publication, UN-Habitat analyzes the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) towards the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, with a special focus on the urban context, in order to understand better the roles of member states in urban climate action. The result is very encouraging: over two-thirds – 110 out of 163 – of the submitted NDCs show clear urban references and content, establishing the relationship between sustainable urbanization and climate action. Through the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UN-Habitat stands ready to support member states to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
