Mr. Tran Trung Tin was born and raised in the Mekong delta, the tropical South of Vietnam. Since his young years, he was interested to learn about water protection, having experienced what serious impacts water pollution may have on people and the environment.
During his studies at Can Tho University, College of Environment and Natural Resources, he learned about subjects, such as Inland Water Resources, Living Aquatic Resources, Aquatic Ecosystems, Community Development Based Resources, Remote Sensing and GIS and Sustainable Development and finished his Bachelor study successfully as Environmental Engineer in 2007.
Later he was lucky to be selected as Environmental Engineer and Head of Environmental Division of Can Tho Industrial Parks Infrastructure Construction Company (CIPCO). Here he became acquainted with the Vietnamese - German team of the AKIZ – Project (Integrated wastewater concept for industrial zones,“Integriertes Abwasserkonzept für Industriezonen”), which is a research project on industrial wastewater and a unique "Flagship Project" under implementation in the Industrial Zone (IZ) Tra Noc, Can Tho City, in the Mekong - Delta.
Accomplishing a local investment for the central sewage treatment plant of the IZ, the AKIZ - Project, (sponsored jointly by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), with IEEM, the Institute for Environmental Engineering and Management at the Private University of Witten/Herdecke gGmbH at Witten/Germany as lead coordinator) is developing an integrated wastewater concept for tropical IZ to secure the efficient and sustainable functioning of the whole wastewater system including all its components.
Currently, Mr. Tran Trung Tin is doing his Master study on Environmental Engineering at Can Tho University, College of Environment and Natural Resources and is involved in the development of a sound wastewater monitoring and control system at IZ Tra Noc in close cooperation with AKIZ and local environmental agencies.
From this background, Mr. Tran Trung Tin wanted to learn more about Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and applied for the DAAD Serial Summer School in September 2012 in Germany.
On 14th July 2012, he received the letter to be selected as participant and is looking forward to meet other international experts from all over the world, to learn about the integration of different disciplines and linkage of ecological, economic and social development goals as essentials when developing future waste water management concepts.
Mr. Tran Trung Tin will bring back home knowledge about German technologies and experiences in modern management tools and techniques to support the successful development of the environmental sector in the Mekong River Delta.
