Ever wonder which are the Marine Environmental Threats that jeopardize the future of our oceans? This Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) on Marine Environmental Threats (MET) focuses on the main issues threatening the health of the marine ecosystems and addresses them from a transdisciplinary perspective. It is an international course, coordinated by the University of Pavia, with the participation of the University of the Basque Country and the University of Azores, and combines virtual synchronous and asynchronous teaching, as well as a physical mobility period.
Participants develop digital competences, communication and time management skills, while working on subjects related to ecosystem health, marine pollution, biomonitoring, overfishing and fisheries management, climate change, underwater sound pollution and bioinvasions. The course draws on immersed in an interdisciplinary and multicultural atmosphere that promotes development of interpersonal skills, including active listening, multilingualism, and teamwork.
