Aim: To modernise curriculum provision in partner countries by implementing a strategic approach for applied and unified credit transfer type of postgraduate education that prepares students for the regional and global postgraduate job market. To jointly develop and deliver a European Masters modules programme technology enhanced in MSc Programme in Climate Change and Restoration of Degraded Lands based on the ?Tuning? project framework. Objectives: -To develop modules tailored to technology assisted on Climate Change and Restoration of Degraded Land -To develop teaching materials that utilise learning objects -To develop a virtual learning environment that facilitates learning and assessment -To disseminate the results to a wider European audience -To exploit the results by organising the transfer to other practitioners Accordingly this project will do the following: -To develop and validate jointly a MSc modules programme on enhanced technology on Climate Change and Restoration of Degraded Land and run the new course piloted at UPM, Madrid, Spain. -To update existing libraries, -To enhance applied postgraduate education for consortium countries practitioners closer to a harmonised Standard. Development of an innovative joint continuing postgraduate education curriculum and coordinated continuing education organizational structure for partner countries represents good example of optimal and coordinated resource utilization. The proposed MSc modules programme will provide provision for continuing education and cover the shortage of skills and educational resources on Climate Change and Restoration of Degraded Land at European level. The proposed MSc modules programme philosophy is that Climate Change affects land and its uses, as well as degradation of soil and vegetation aggravates the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, so it becomes necessary to focus the problem from a global perspective. The proposed MSc modules programme allows students to analyze the impacts of climate change on land, and on the sustainability and resilience of fragile ecosystems. It also enhances their capacity to design policies to mitigate the impacts arising from climate change and environmental degradation.
