 My name is Madoche Jean-Louis, I'm from Haiti in the Caribbean and I'm making a master degree here in hydraulic engineering and we're based in development. It was an amazing experience here, the country, the study, the professor, everything was nice and the culture, the quality of life. It was a very good choice to decide to come here and study. It's one of the best places in the world to study water-related issues. One of the unique environments that ICDELF offers is that interdisciplinary and international community form all over the world. It was nice to collaborate, to share and to understand better with an holistic approach what is the water-related issues in the world. I think the experience was unique and memorable. Most importantly, they are all experts in their respective areas. They are always to help, to discourse, they respect your point of view. They are extremely friendly and I think it's important in an environment where we want to learn that friendship between professors and students. I went to the sort of France for the fieldwork. It was the best experience of my junior. We were able to apply theoretical knowledge to very practical issues, so we were having a fun, but at the same time we were able to discuss about science, to learn from our professors. For the research abroad, I went to my country, Haiti, in a city called Capaisie. Also, it was nice to help the country. I felt satisfaction by knowing that the research I am doing will build a kind of solid science basis for the country. To do science or to do hydraulic engineering, hydrology, we need data. In Haiti there is absolutely no data and when there is data, they are not open access. It's extremely difficult to find them. We really need, for example, climatological stations, gorging stations and all of those data. We can try to gather them in one space or database, online open access and based on that we can start doing a lot of research. It's that integrated approach to solve problems. It's not only engineering but it's also social science, it's also law, it's also diplomacy. It's that integrated holistic way to approach water issues around the world. If you have the opportunity, there is a lot of scholarship here and then just apply. If you have the chance, just come because here it's an amazing place. Quality of education, access to information, how helpful the community is from the staff, the lecturers, the professor. I think it's a very, very nice place to be, to study hydraulic engineering.
