Since 2013, the Albania Project Center has conducted over 40 student research projects, partnering with government agencies and non-profit organizations on a diverse array of topics such as cultural heritage preservation, rural livelihoods, food tourism, wastewater management, flood risk reduction, and climate change mitigation, among others. All the projects (and the entire student experience in Albania) offer wonderful, real-world opportunities for WPI students and provide our project partners with valuable data and perspectives on pressing problems and opportunities in Tirana and in other regions of Albania. Students teams are based in Tirana but undertake fieldwork throughout the country.
