METIER
(METhods of Interdisciplinary Environmental Research is a Marie Curie
Series of Events offered by PEER and funded by the European Community.
Background
To
solve environmental problems is challenging: It requires both profound
disciplinary knowledge and interdisciplinary skills. While disciplinary
knowledge is usually trained lecture-based, interdisciplinary skills
are trained on the job, e.g. in interdisciplinary research projects.
What is globally missing so far is a systematic (especially graduate)
curriculum for interdisciplinary environmental research.
Objective
The
Marie Curie Series of Events METIER consists of seven graduate training
courses and one final conference addressing cutting-edge methods of
interdisciplinary environmental research needed for supporting
environmental management:
- Remote sensing / collection of environmental data,
- Information management,
- Geo-visualization,
- Environmental modelling,
- Scenario development and forecasting.
The
educational material produced by METIER will be published via the
Internet. It can be found on the pages of the respective events.
