AIM: The aim of IUCLAND is to foster international cooperation among partner Universities through the implementation of training activities (namely summer schools and workshops) dedicated to the topic of Land Degradation. Indeed, the project promotes international cooperation at both regional and cross-regional level, by allowing the interaction among European, Far East Asian and Central Asian partners.
Coherently with the regional and international effort at political level, IUCLAND proposes to improve the effectiveness of development and land protection strategies by increasing cooperation capacity and best practices productivity, though educational patterns involving Higher Education Institutions and all potential stakeholders, (e.g. farmers’ association).
In particular, along its three years implementation period, the IUCLAND project consortium pursues the following goals:
- to substantially increase the quantity and quality of the international education in land degradation curricula in EU and Asiatic Country,
- to provide MSc and PhD students critical thinking skills in the arena of Soil Monitoring and Soil Protection, and
- to build and improve mutually beneficial, collaborative relationships among all the partner universities to facilitate research, higher education, and outreach in the areas of natural resource management.
