Description
Project expands and fully implements study modules developed within projects CASE and COCIES into three novel study profiles at Bc. level and four profiles at Mgr. level. At Bc. level testing of study profiles „Cultural Environmentalist“, „Socially-ecological Enterprise“ and „Public Engagement and Public Administration“ will be realised. At Mgr. level, study profiles „Social Science Reflection of Environmental Problems“, „Public Sphere and Politics“, „City, Province, Landscape“ and „Ecological Economics“ will be scrutinized. Tested study profiles will be with cooperation of Lillehammer University College evaluated and modified to assure their maximal benefit for employability of absolvents. Students will be also provided with extended part of international conference by student section, what will motivate them for closer cooperation with academics, both from Czech Republic and Norway. Numerous other supportive and dissemination activities (publications, events) will be provided.
Summary of project results
Project expands and fully implements study modules developed within projects CASE and COCIES into three novel study profiles at Bc. level and four profiles at Mgr. level. At Bc. level testing of study profiles „Cultural Environmentalist“, „Socially-ecological Enterprise“ and „Public Engagement and Public Administration“ was realised. At Mgr. level, study profiles „Social Science Reflection of Environmental Problems“, „Public Sphere and Politics“, „City, Province, Landscape“ and „Ecological Economics“ was scrutinized. Tested study profiles was realized with the cooperation of Lillehammer University College (Norway) evaluated and modified to assure their maximal benefit for employability of absolvents. Students were also provided with extended part of international conference by student section, what motivated them for closer cooperation with academics, both from Czech Republic and Norway. Numerous other supportive and dissemination activities: eg. publications Landscape of Environmental Studies and Educational Trails were prepared and published, educational excursions as an implementation of curriculum changes were realized etc.
Summary of bilateral results
Project IOCIES reacts to the possibilities created by realisation of COCIES project. Considering suggestions of Evaluation Report, the curriculum should be more focused on current methodological approaches. Syllabuses of the courses of disciplines, which are under fast scientific progress, should be renewed. Further connection to partner universities (f.e. HIL, Norway) is suggested. Main objective of the IOCIES project is to utilize and fully implement developments of previous COCIES project and upgrade current structure of study at Department of Environmental Studies. Within IOCIES project, three new study specializations at Bachelor level and four at Master level.
