Applied Research

MEDRC is a recognized regional center of excellence that boosts research on reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technologies and renewable energies-based desalination and dealing with environmental impact concerns as well. We support innovative new research across the MENA region including work on HABs and re-use of end life RO membranes. We also support the MEDRC Fellowship Program for MSc and PhD students in Palestine and Jordan.

Fellowships

To date, MEDRC’s Fellowship Program has funded over 200 master’s level and over 15 PhD students in Palestine and Jordan. This unique initiative offered in partnership with the Palestinian Water Authority and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, supports academic research capacity and offers exceptionally talented graduates the opportunity to undertake postgraduate study at participating universities in Palestine and Jordan. Through supporting these programs, MEDRC is working to bridge such gaps, supporting effective water solutions sustainably developed within the national context. MEDRC maintains an active alumni network and hosts annual events bringing together academia and the private and public sectors.
