Project Summary

Soil and fluvial bioengineering is a technical and scientific discipline that combines technology and biology, making use of plants and plant communities to help protect land uses and infrastructure, and contribute to landscape development. It matches technical (protection and stabilisation), ecological (eco-systemic restoration), landscape (improve the landscape integration) and socioeconomic (more efficient and source of employment) The aim of this project is to generate a sector-specific theoretical and practical syllabus essential for the specialization process of the soil and water Mediterranean bioengineering sector. Also, to jointly develop a long term interaction scheme among the stakeholders of the bioengineering sector and to deliver a training courses programme technology enhanced in Soil and Fluvial Bioengineering, Hazard Assessment and Techniques Selection in Mediterranean Environment. This new syllabus will be generated during the implementation of the long term strategy of the proposal “Specialisation process for a soil and water bioengineering sector in the Mediterranean environment (ECOMED)”.The main objectives will be:- To develop and implement a long term interaction scheme between companies and HE centres related to bioengineering sector.- To take advantage of the accumulated experience of the sector throughout the Mediterranean environment by recording/implementing/standardising/transferring it throughout the bioengineering sector.- To develop modules tailored to bioengineering techniques planning, design and construction in Mediterranean environment.- To develop a virtual learning environment that facilitates experiential learning and assessment constructively aligned with the learning objectives- To improve the know-how of the sector by: * disseminating the results to a wider audience and in other similar climatic regions of the world. * exploiting the results by organising the knowledge transfer to other practitioners.
