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,
- Environmental scenario analysis.
The educational material produced by METIER will be published via the Internet. It can be found on the pages of the respective events.
