Project summary
The main objective of this project is to educate experts for Natural Disasters Risk Management (NDRM) in WB partner countries (Serbia, Kosovo* and Bosnia and Herzegovina) through development and implementation of new master curricula in the field of NDRM and development of educational trainings for the public sector and citizens.
The new master curricula in NDRM, developed in cooperation with EU partner HEIs will provide innovative, research - based, cross – disciplinary, ICT supported education in the field of natural disaster risk management with the aim of fostering professionals who can formulate effective responses to complex practice and policy issues, enable their employment in the relevant public bodies and thereby substantially reduce disaster losses in WB partner countries.
Objectives
Besides day-by-day visible outcomes (reports, analyses, study visits, action plans, etc.), more prominent outputs showing to what extent the project objectives are met will be:
- Developed/modernized master curricula and modules in WB partner HEIs, in accordance with the highest EU standards, followed by accreditation
- Contemporary equipped laboratories for studies in the field of NDRM
- Enrollment of students to the new master curricula offering mobility options for them and teaching staff
-Developed and conducted educational trainings for citizens and public sector in the field of NDRM
Finally, since the background for the foreseen activities is in accordance with EU standards and the best practices it is expected that all partner universities will educate experts with adequate knowledge and competences, which will be able to employ in relevant institutions for NDRM.
