Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Applied Ecohydrology (MAEH) is a Portuguese academic program designed to address global water challenges by merging ecohydrology with engineering and integrated management. It trains professionals to solve complex issues regarding water security and aquatic ecosystem sustainability through nature-based solutions and technical innovation.

• Industries: The program serves the water science sector, focusing on river restoration, coastal area protection, groundwater quality improvement, and risk reduction for society.
• Operations: MAEH is a two-year course offered jointly by four European universities in Portugal, Poland, Germany, and Belgium under Erasmus+ support.
• Customers: It targets self-funded students seeking joint master degrees who require holistic perspectives on multifactorial water problems.
