Output 2 (O2): Training course – Web-based GIS platform
O2 focuses on the development and operation of a Web based GIS platform that will be used by Higher Education students and Professors in order to apply Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) for assessing Landscape quality in Natura 2000 zones.
Output3 (O3): Policy outreach
The European Landscape Convention aims to encourage citizens and public authorities to implement policies and measures at local, regional, national and international level for protecting, managing and planning landscapes throughout Europe. In this frame, GEOLAND aims to provide a unique opportunity to Higher Education students to study how European Landscape Convention (ELC) is implemented and adopted in different EU countries.
Output 4 (O4): Online gallery of students work
O4 is about developing an online gallery of students’ work. The virtual gallery will act primarily as an educational tool for promoting the training of Higher Education students in applying ELC and managing effectively the European Landscape, as well as a dissemination tool. It is noted that this online gallery will complement efforts in geo-sciences, with a specific objective on forming students competent in decision-making for landscape management, planning and protection of NATURA 2000 sites.
Output 5 (O5): Monitoring digital educational readiness of Higher Education Institutes
The objective of Output 5 is to develop the Digital Readiness Tool, DERT, for the assessment of the digital readiness of the Higher Education students and courses. The development will be based on the previous outcomes and mainly on the GEOLAND course and will be complementary to this.
