Since 1975 IPGL is a hub for international post-graduated training, research and networking in the area of limnology and freshwater ecosystem management. IPGL organizes a variety of training programmes and acts as interface platform linking research institutions world-wide.
IPGL courses are offering practical training on field-work, laboratory methods and data analyses – all the way from sampling-design to data interpretation and implementation of management measures. Practical research training can be done in small groups only, thus the number of course participants is limited to 20 persons maximum.
The quality of IPGL courses is based on the excellent collaboration of many renowned research institutions in Austria and several institutions in the world. As a result of this cooperation, IPGL courses are held at several locations and centres of excellence in Austria, such as: Mondsee (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Limnology), Lunz (WasserCluster Lunz - Inter-university Center for Freshwater Ecosystem Research) and Vienna (University of Vienna, Vienna University of Technology, BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna). IPGL modules are also held in Trebon, Czech Republic, hosted by the Czech Academy of Sciences (Institute of Botany and Institute of Systems Biology & Ecology) and Egerton University in Kenya.
