The Faculty of Maritime Studies Kotor and the Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Montenegro will coordinate the Erasmus+ project titled: "Development of Regional Joint Master Program in Maritime Environmental Protection and Management (MEP&M)" during the period from January 15, 2021, to January 14, 2024. The project is funded by the European Unions Executive Agency for Education, Audiovisual and Culture (EACEA) under Key Action KA2 – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices – capacity building in higher education.

 

Other consortium members participating in the implementation of this project include: University “Aleksander Moisiu” in Durrës (Albania), University “Ismail Qemali” in Vlora (Albania), Maritime Administration of Albania (Albania), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Cádiz (Spain), University Côte d’Azur (France), as well as the Agency for Environmental Protection and the NGO Eco Center Dolphin from Montenegro.

 

MEP&M project proposal aims toward solving multiple issues. First, coastal zone and marine environment protection is one of Montenegrin and Albanian (PC) Governments priorities. Also, this field is one of priorities toward EU accession process for all WBCs. Lack of adequate number of professionals in governmental institutions and blue economy sector companies dealing with issues in this area should be overcome through enhanced education and research at PC HEIs. Secondly, strengthening international competitiveness within EHEA and ERA are the main driving forces for PC HEIs.

 

Thus, project’s activities will deliver next main results: developed and accredited innovative regional joint interdisciplinary MSc program (120 ECTS, 2-year duration) in field of Maritime Environmental Protection and Management (MEP&M) in English language at PC HEIs; enhanced human capacities in field of MEP&M and e-learning methodology through tailored trainings at PC HEIs; enhanced technical capacities of PC HEIs through installed new e-learning platform; increased networking among PC HEIs, governmental institutions, Blue economy sector companies and NGOs in order to act regionally to prevent and cope with consequences of global climate change and local/regional marine pollution.

 

The project will have positive impact on strengthening human capacities in field of MEP&M at PCs, and wider, and increasing international competitiveness and visibility of the PC HEIs, as a result of the developed and started MSc program in MEP&M in English and enhanced human and technical capacities.
