Overview
The objective of the IDA Fellowship Award is to facilitate the advancement of global expertise on desalination and water reuse by fostering more interactions and sharing of non-confidential knowledge and non-patented technologies and processes in the desalination and water reuse industry. The IDA Fellowship Award enables the IDA Fellow to acquire new in-depth knowledge through an attachment with a host agency – a high profile, well-respected public utility or research organization known for its leadership in desalination and desalination technologies. The host agency also benefits from the IDA Fellow’s experience, knowledge and exposure to best practices, which are shared with the support of the Fellow’s own organization.
The IDA Fellowship Award program consists of two parts – a monetary award and an attachment to work on a specific project. IDA confers a monetary award up to 10,000 USD, which is funded through the IDA Foundation. This amount is utilized to cover the airfare and accommodations of the Fellow. The host agencies also agree to cover the Fellow’s in-country living expenses while he/she is on attachment with the hosts. The hosting agencies reserve the right to draft the specifics of the attachment and the level of monetary commitment. The IDA
Fellow must also demonstrate the ability to secure additional sources of funding to allow him/her
to complete the attachment.
The attachment, provided by the host agencies, spans several weeks, during which time the Fellow works on a project (e.g., operational project, research and development) that is outlined as part of the application procedure.
Host agencies
The Water Corporation and Murdoch University in Western Australia are joint host agencies for IDA’s 2010 Fellowship Award.
Eligibility
- Individual applicants for the 2010 Fellowship Award must be IDA members. In addition, applicants must possess 8-10 years of working experience in the field of desalination and/or water reuse.
- Applicants should express an interest in emphasis on research or utility operations so that the most appropriate attachment can be planned with Murdoch University and the Water Corporation. The successful Fellow’s background will also be considered in this process.
- The host agencies will work with the successful Fellow to organize placement with a suitable venture and to identify sites of interest so that the best use can be made of opportunities presented. There are a number of desalination sites that would be of potential interest to the Fellow, but we ask that he or she lets us know where their particular interests lie.
-Applicants should also advise of any potential commercial sensitivity that may arise for them with this attachment so that this matter can be considered in the selection process and attachment planning. The host agencies will attempt to accommodate any perceived conflict of interest.
- After completion of the attachment, the host agencies will offer the Fellow specific training in one of a range of topics, guided by areas of interest advised by the Fellow.
