About WEDC and Loughborough University
The Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) is one of the world's leading institutions concerned with education, training, research, and consultancy relating to the planning, provision, and management of infrastructure for development in low- and middle-income countries. WEDC is devoted to activities that improve the health and well-being of people living in both rural areas and urban communities. We encourage the integration of technological, environmental, social, economic, and management inputs for effective and sustainable development.
Loughborough University with 3,000 staff and 12,000 students has an impressive 410 acre campus - one of the largest in the UK - with easy access from the M1, East Midlands Airport and only 90 minutes from London St Pancras. Loughborough itself is a remarkable combination of a large, thriving town and a prominent high-technology centre for the East Midlands - a magnet for inward investment.
The university has won an unbeaten 4 Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Higher and Further Education for work with the aeronautical and automotive industries (1994); support for developing countries (WEDC, 1998); for a pioneering role in developing applications of modern optics and laser technologies (2000); and for its world leading role in sports research, education and development (2002).
