Just like WISDOM, the IWRM project is a bi-lateral BMBF funded project between Vietnam and Germany. Both projects - WISDOM and IWRM - aim at close cooperation for mutual support, the avoidance of redundancies, and joint acticvities, such as workshops, open seminars and data exchange. Sylvia Jaschinski, PhD student within the IWRM project at the Ruh University of Bochum stayed two months at the German Remote Sensing data Center, DFD, of DLR and received instruction and supervision on topics such as remote sensing theory, pre-processing of satellite data, landcover and landuse classification and feature extraction techniques.
