Vocational training

Knowledge transfer is a fundamental part of CREALP. We offer training courses for professionals and universities in the fields of water resources and natural risk management.

The aim of these training courses is to equip participants with the skills they need to successfully tackle the problems associated with resource management and natural hazards.

We run courses in Switzerland for private companies and universities (EPFL, UZH, UniBern…), as well as in Peru, Ecuador, China and Cameroon as part of development cooperation projects.
