Dear Sir or Madam,

This month I would like to report about the successful use of a UNITRACC course in Jordan in connection with a joint project of the German Society for Technical Cooperation. The course dealt with the "Maintenance of water and wastewater networks" and was held to train staff for water and wastewater networks. Find out more in the News area on UNITRACC.

You don't know our Learning Section yet? Take a look at what UNITRACC has to offer on the educational sector - courses, papers, virtual construction sites and much more. Why not train your staff with an individually designed course? E-learning is the key - accessible around the globe via the world-wide web and time-independent!

To gain a complete overview of the materials available, you need to be a registered user with a Complete package. To join the UNITRACC community simply request a trial access code, which gives you free access to UNITRACC for 7 days.

This month I would like to introduce to you our editorial staff, who are in charge of the E-Journal area on UNITRACC (see photo on the right). They are the ones who constantly feed you with the lastest news and interesting articles and fill your dairy with dates of events around the globe.
If you would like to read one of your news or your expert article published on UNITRACC, simply send it to editorial@unitracc.com. We are looking forward to your email.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dipl.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
