Project Summary

MONTUS starts from the initial observation that Cloud Computing (CC) is a paradigm too recent – although dating from the 2000s – to be operational in most environmental science disciplines that, nevertheless, need it to cope with Big Data Challenge / Articifial Intelligence (BD – AI) that concern them all. This reality is all the more exacerbated in the southern countries. In addition, the major challenges of the contemporary world make the environment an absolute priority, particularly in Asia. A first E + TORUS program allowed us to learn from each other – IT and geoscience (major theoretical investment). MONTUS now offers:1. The creation of a Master (Hanoi) dedicated to the teaching of CC for applications in environmental sciences: Master On New Technologies Using Services: BigData / CloudComputing in Environmental Science. Single Master in Asia (even in Europe).2. Building capacity between geoscience and IT in the field of CC remains a priority in Asia and MONTUS intends to expand partnerships in Vietnam and Cambodia while evolving towards new environmental themes (social networks, urban climates, smart cities …).3. MONTUS intends to perpetuate TORUS’s intellectual and material investments while providing new supports for higher education and research and strengthening IT resources dedicated to CC.4. Associate Research with MONTUS by requesting consular applications from national and consular authorities. It is an essential valorization for the perpetuation of the master to benefit future teachers in the field.
