5 European universities of the Atlantic Arc (Bournemouth, Cork, Oviedo, Porto and Agrocampus Ouest) combine their expertise to offer to students a two-week training on riverscape restoration.
Through comparison of river landscapes in the Atlantic Arc and multidisciplinary education, the main objective of this programme is to introduce students to river and salmonid ecology and restoration in the broadest sense, considering not only scientific issues but also the human dimension of river use in rural areas.
This project will:
- Immerse students in local (rural) cultures and traditions, including river uses
- Promote active and research-based learning
- Promote team-working
- Establish a network of teachers and students with an interest in river ecology, its resources, ecological restoration and management
- Make students realize the gap between the past civil engineering works on the rivers to the future ecological river engineering projects
