- The main goal of the ECT+ EMJMD programme is the formation of post-graduates in the knowledge developed in toxicology, ecotoxicology and chemistry for generating high-level technologists and scientists devoted to the scientifically based protection of the environment.
- By addressing emerging One-Health concepts and paradigms, the programme will provide students the scientific basis required for covering the goals of the new European policies.
- In its entirety, ECT+ EMJMD faces up to key scientific and technological challenges recognised as a priority by the European institutions, and combines a fully innovative scientific approach with the direct application of the results for protecting human health and the environment.
The main feature of the ECT+ EMJMD programme is:
- Academic quality. The aim of the ECT+ programme is to develop critical understanding of technical and scientific tools together with excellent management abilities and personal skills.
- Added value of the integrated study programme: The ECT+ EMJMD programme is the result of a structured cooperation between higher education institutions aimed to offer enhanced quality in higher education with a distinct European added value, attractive both within the EU and beyond its borders, and with a view to fostering excellence in environmental postgraduate teaching. The structure of the ECT+ EMJMD in modules and its flexibility gives the student the opportunity to develop an individually tailored curriculum.
- Career profile. Environmental protection against pollution and associated risk management and policies require multidisciplinary team work and the integrated action of professionals with complementary expertise capable of understanding each other and promoting synergies.
- Academic needs and opportunities. Our vision is that graduates will be the next generation of scientists and managers who need to understand the global environment under the framework of the One Health principle (environmental health = human health) and to solve environmental problems derived from chemical pollution and related environmental stress sources at regional scale.
