Project Description:
Central Asia (CA) needs modernization and capacity building on environmental protection techniques to reduce huge human and economic losses caused by disasters originated from improper environmental management. The aim of this project is sustainable capacity building in CA for environmental protection, using spatial methods. A consortium consisting of EU and non-EU partners as well as local stakeholders (including associate partners) in CA will collaborate in this project. Three innovative and blended courses on applications of spatial information science and technologies for environmental protection and disaster risk management will be developed, based on Bologna framework, to be taught in HEIs. The courses will be developed based on the needs of stakeholders and the region in general. E-learning systems will be setup in partner universities to offer the courses to stakeholders and students on a distance and blended mode, besides in campus training. It is in line with meeting the priority of the region on using ICT-based and flexible education in CA. An internet-based information Management System for Environmental Protection (iMSEP) will be developed and implemented for the stakeholders to be used for the collection, storage, management and analysis of spatial information for a better knowledge-based environmental protection. Training of trainers will be conducted for partner universities on how to teach and update the courses. Special training will take place, both in EU and CA, on how to use and support iMSEP. It guarantees the sustainability of using and supporting iMSEP in the region. Four workshops with the participation of HEIs, stakeholders, associate partners and students will be hold to disseminate the outcomes/outputs of the project. Culturing the use of spatial methods for environmental protection and enterprise-university cooperation will be motivated and addressed during the project, especially in the workshops. All outcomes will be evaluated.
