TGREEN - Designing master's programs for sustainable development

Wednesday, July 19, 2023 - 10:49

The Faculty of Biotechnology at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa is part of a consortium of Universities that propose to collaborate to design training offers at Master's level in Armenia, aimed at promoting the objectives of sustainable development. This is the T-GREEN project, which addresses the need to reform teaching at the Masters level in support of the Green Deal and enable the shift from traditional curricula to future-oriented, green and interdisciplinary curricula. The project also intends to promote student mobility and design collaborative schemes for implementing teaching programs.

T-GREEN will focus on training decision-makers, teachers, researchers and students to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals that address environmental issues into policies and educational content. Another of the central objectives of the project is to create a network involving national authorities, higher education institutions and other interested parties. To this end, national and institutional regulations that promote joint implementation, of two or more degrees, and promote mobility, transfer of credits and recognition of qualifications will be reinforced and oriented.

For the promotion of new and restructured courses, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) will collaborate with each other and involve stakeholders. The courses with the highest success rate may also be offered in English for international students.

The T-GREEN project will last for 3 years, involves a total of 16 partners and is coordinated by NUACA University, Armenia.

 This project was funded with support from the European Commission.
