I think that collaboration on projects related to hydrogeology, geothermal energy and the management of water resources in the face of climate change would be particularly relevant. Now that I've been promoted in the competitive examination to become a Associate professor I'd like to explore new possibilities, this time in the context of collaborative research projects. I'm proposing to work on projects in renewable energy, water resources monitoring and the environment, in partnership with other countries. These themes, linked to climate change and the sustainable management of water resources, are of vital importance. Our respective areas of expertise could feed into innovative projects that would benefit both of us. I would be delighted to discuss these possibilities with you and your departmental team. I am convinced that this initiative would help to strengthen relations between our countries and develop research projects of international scope. I would like to thank you for your attention to my request and remain at your disposal for any further discussions.
