This project addresses the need for a cross-scientific approach to further training in environmental management. Training in this area needs to change its focus from repairing damage and cleaning up polluted areas to preventive measures at operational level. This will be done by incorporating environmental issues into the daily production process of companies and providing on-going training for personnel. A programme will be developed at universities and polytechnics by integrating practice, modern training methods and theory following the SES (Second Environmental Science) cross-scientific approach. The training programme consists of modules covering the various problem areas related to environmental issues. It will use the most modern training methods: network-based training, multimedia, teamwork and tutoring. The contents of the programme will be delivered via the web and interactive open and distance learning. The training will be targeted at managers and other key employees within companies. The programme will be disseminated through the partnership's international networks.
