ENSEC Project

ENSEC arises from a Strategic Partnership composed by higher education and business institutions that will actively cooperate among them and key stakeholders (enterprises, regional bodies and other HE/VET institutions) for the development of an International Master Degree for the Environmental Security Sector, which will offer an adapted curriculum to equip the young generation with the specific, basic and transversal competences currently required in the planning, climate change mitigation and vested industries. 

• This international Master Degree Modules Programme is in line with the targets identified at the 2011 EU modernisation agenda. The developed curriculum attuned to current labour market needs to the modern society will provide opportunities for students to gain additional skills through study and training abroad and this will attract people into Higher Education. This Strategic Partnership has previous experience of collaborating together. It is formed of eight entities; four universities, three SMEs and one social partner-Chamber of Commerce. 
• All partners in the consortium are located in regions which are highly influenced by the climate change and are actively involved in research and innovation initiatives, which will strengthen the links between education, research and business to promote excellence and regional development.

• increase innovation, improve capacity and support development of partners’ postgraduate programme on green growth and urban development
• improve compliance, support policy development, and build capacity, towards achieving resilient, low carbon economies that meet global climate change targets, in line with the commitments made under the Paris Agreement
• increase awareness among decision-makers and the public including its impact on security, transparency, and governance, and support efforts to improve governance structures helping to tackle corruption and improve accountability
• improve protection for endangered species and/or improve countries’ legislative frameworks to help reduce or eradicate the trade

Are your customers raving about you on social media? Share their great stories to help turn potential customers into loyal ones.The major challenge concerns the global environmental change, focusing on the interactions between ecosystems and mankind, the effects of global environmental change on environmental degradation, the effects of increasing social request for resources, ecosystem services, and environmental goods. The relevant objects of environmental security are complex, adaptive systems with two main components – the social, characterized by human intent, and the ecological, rising without intent; these have interacted historically, and society strongly determines the landscape ecological components of such systems (Zurlini, Müller, 2008).

• In the 10 presented Modules, we intend to give you a broad presentation and, in some aspects, detailed knowledge of Environment Security topics, nowadays challenges and particular subjects related to the management of a rising threat to our planet. Any person can register in ENSEC platform and attend any or all the Modules.
