“You should really join next year’s edition. I liked the homework that we needed to prepare. We discussed the dike monitoring strategies in different countries and we learned a lot from each other’s perspectives. I enjoyed that very much.” Pengxu Zou from China - PhD student, Delft University of Technology

“I would recommend the Winter School, especially being in the polder. It is a fun and great way to learn more about the subjects in practice and about how we can be protected from flooding.” Roberto Bentivoglio from Italy - PhD student, Delft University of Technology

“I would highly recommend the Winter School. I learned about a lot of different topics that I had not been taught in any previous courses. And the best part is to actually be on the levee, do fieldwork and get a real experience of what it is like. So join the next edition!” Marisol Irias Mata from Costa Rica - Msc student Hydraulic Engineering, Delft University of Technology

“The best thing for me was to be part of this greater international network and the discussions that came from it. It really challenged my mind to learn about how different stakeholders work with flood protection and flood safety in the Netherlands, for example.” Anna Adell from Sweden - PhD student, Lund University
