The lack of highly qualified labour force in the Vietnamese water and environmental sector as well as the problems in the mutual admission of doctoral students between German and Vietnamese Universities have motivated the Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management (IEEM) at the University of Witten/Herdecke to initiate the Water Doctoral Network (WDN). This network shall not be limited to tuition and conferral of doctorates in water sciences, engineering and economics, but serve as nursery for new, innovative research potentials and projects within the international academic co-operation. Applied learning and research, rather than basic research and pure science, are the main focuses of this project. Sự thiếu hụt lực lượng lao động chất lượng cao trong lĩnh vực nước và môi trường ở Việt Nam cũng như các vấn đề trong việc tiếp nhận nghiên cứu sinh tiến sỹ giữa các trường Đại học củaĐức và Việt Nam đã tạo động lực để Viện Kỹ thuật và Quản lý Môi trường (IEEM) của trường Đại học Witten/Herdecke đề xuấtmạng lưới đào tạo Tiến sỹ nghiên cứu về ngành nước (WDN). Mạng lưới này không chỉ giới hạn ở việc giảng dạy và cấp bằng tiến sĩ trong lĩnh khoa học, kinh tế và kỹ thuật về ngành nước, mà nó như là vườn ươm đối với các dự án và tiềm năng nghiên cứu sáng tạo mới trong hợp tác hàn lâm quốc tế. Học tập và nghiên cứu ứng dụng thực tế là các trọng tâm chính của dự án này chứ không đơn thuần là nghiên cứu cơ bản và khoa học thuần túy.

The paper is devoted to the development of an integrated structural system model to ensure the training of highly qualified personnel for air transport. The main strategic directions of development and successful activity of National Aviation University at the present stage are determined. It is proved that the formation of the strategy involves obtaining a complete picture of the future state of the aviation industry and ways to solve existing problems. It is scientifically substantiated that the solution of this issue is possible through a detailed analysis of the components of the integrated system and the application of modern management methods. Research work at the university is the main component of the educational process. Scientific and pedagogical workers, post-graduate students, doctoral students and a significant part of higher education students take part in conducting scientific research in these areas. Scientists of the university carry out complex research work in the most relevant areas of science and technology. The university has 17 specialized councils for the defense of doctoral and candidate dissertations in 29 specialties The economic performance of any higher education institution directly depends on competitiveness and financial condition. In 2020 NAU took the sixth place in the ranking of the most popular institutions of higher education in Ukraine in the total number of applications. According to the number of entrants enrolled in the budget, it ranks fifth in Ukraine and third in the capital For the professional development of the aviation industry, due to modern economic and social conditions, it is necessary to increase the demand for technical specialties. Training specialists for professional activities in the context of European integration requires the search for extraordinary ways to organize the educational process. Already today we have a big problem of lack of future engineers for aviation.

Environmental Compartments

For ten years, the Division of Applied Science, University of Paderborn, has gained experience with a four-year undergraduate environmental engineering programme. Up to now, more than 400 graduates have successfully entered a professional career, proving that the educational concept is accepted by the employment sector, e.g. consultants, industry and authorities. Important aspects of this concept are the combination of civil engineering - as a core engineering field - with natural environmental sciences in the basic studies, the coverage of all environmental compartments in the main studies before specialisation in one area, and a strong practical component of the curriculum both inside and outside the university.

Environmental Infrastructure

Traditionally in Germany environmental engineering education took place within the context of a civil engineering programme. There were reasons for this: the beginning of much of what we understand today to be environmental works fell within the parameters of city engineering. There were and are advantages mostly in view of the necessary planning, construction and operation of environmental infrastructure. There are also disadvantages which become more and more pronounced as the field of environmental protection expands: the civil engineer frequently lacks basic training in disciplines such as biology and chemistry and carries a large and sometimes burdensome knowledge of other less relevant subjects. Thus, educators begin to look for alternatives. This paper deals with an alternative that was developed some ten years ago and therefore has proven viable and successful: at the University of Karlsruhe students may choose to major in environmental engineering within the context or on the basis of an economics and business administration curriculum. The basic question here is as to what extent the student masters the field of environmental engineering if he or she has predominantly a solid background in social sciences and very little in natural sciences. The paper will describe the curriculum in structure and intensity and evaluate the accumulated knowledge and suitability of these students in terms of actual environmental problems. This will be done in terms of examination performance parallel and/or relative to traditionally trained civil environmental engineers as well as in terms of topics successfully treated in Masters' theses. In conclusion, it is argued that such combination of curricula should not be confined to economic sciences and environmental engineering but also be planned for legal sciences and environmental engineering.

To begin, I wish to thank the Academy of Toxicological Sciences for bestowing this honor on me. I have had a rewarding career in basic research and clinical medicine, beginning with research in high school and always planning on becoming a physician. I have had the good fortune of having outstanding mentors, wonderful parents, and a supportive and intuitive wife and family. This article provides a brief overview of some of the events of my career and individuals who have played a major role, beginning with the M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Wisconsin, pathology residency and faculty at St. Vincent Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts, a year as visiting professor at Nagoya City University, and my career at the University of Nebraska Medical Center since 1981. This could not have happened without the strong input and support from these individuals, the numerous students, residents and fellows with whom I have learned so much, and the more than 500 terrific collaborators.
