The Desalination Academy was founded in 2015. Associated with your start was the deep desire to impart knowledge in desalination in a technically competent and concentrated manner. In many seminars and workshops over the years people have received further training in the various fields of desalination. In 2018, the offer of physical education was supplemented with the digital world. From this point on, participants were able to access the material provided digitally after completing the training they attended.
In 2020, the digital and physical Desalination Academy was merged into one unit. Today participants can physically and digitally take part in the training measures live and subsequently process the recordings and presentations independently of the time.
