International Workshop Education in Environmental Informatics in Europe

General Focus

The core characteristic of the emerging discipline of Environmental Informatics is an interdisciplinary endeavour resulting from a blurring of the boundaries between the environmental sciences and applied computer science (including information systems) as well as a number of areas in the social and economic sciences. Therefore all educational efforts in Environmental Informatics need a strong trans-disciplinary approach.

The aim of this workshop is to sketch a picture of academic educational programs in Environmental Informatics in the European countries. The spectrum spans from single courses on related topics, over fields of specialization on Environmental Informatics within other degree programs (e.g. geosciences, computer science, business, biology,..) up to full degrees in Environmental Informatics (e.g. on Bachelor or Masters level).

Topics

• Curricula of Environmental Informatics degree programs
