The continuous development of science and the growing new techniques necessitate a significant change in the educational syllabus of postgraduate university programs. Taking into consideration the specificity of the students, as well as the need for proper preparation for the labor market, educational material changes targeting specific topics designed to address problems in a better way, provide solutions and create new applications. “Quaternary Geology & Geo-Archaeology” and “Analysis and Management of anthropogenic - natural hazards and disasters” will be two newly introduced courses during the two (2) years Master's Degree Program at the University of Athens-UoA. The development of the program aims at a more specialized knowledge and capacity building for students, which will make them more competitive in the labor market. The program will be enriched with renowned in their field scientists from international institutions who will share their expertise with our students. Also the collaboration with organizations (SMEs, Laboratories, and NGOs) will create the skills to the students that are required after they graduate. The Intensive Program, designed to occur twice each year, will give the participating students a condensed experience by applying what they've learned on fieldtrips combined with targeted lectures and activities. At the end of the program will be held a conference where students will be able to present their skills through research activity. Conference participants will be scientists from universities, public agencies, companies operating in the industry, research institutions, etc. The conference aims to bring together students and all stakeholders, who will be able to work with after graduation. This project's partnership consists of: University of Athens-UoA from Greece, University of Aix-Marseille-AMU from France, University of Trieste-UNITS from Italy and Haifa University from Israel. UoA, AMU, UNITS and Haifa University are Higher Education Institutions. The choice of partners was made according to their specific expertise on the field, their teaching experience and their background of application in research activities. UoA is the responsible tutor for the two master courses in this project. AMU is the leader in Holocene relative sea-level research applying many new methods for the analysis of geographical and environmental data. UNITS team has a strong background in methods and techniques in physical geography and is the key partner for the methods and techniques to be presented in the courses and ISP. University of Haifa is focusing on the determination of historical and prehistoric sea levels and how these relate to human civilization. This team will play an important role for the Master course “Quaternary GeoEnvironment – ArchaeoGeomorphology”. The program is structured so that the courses are conducted in the spring semester and Intensive Program activities to be done in the following summer. After the completion of the program, internships opportunities will be available for the students by the collaborating institutes. International students, coming from the institutions of the EU project's partners will also participate in the ISP. To achieve the objectives, an e-class platform will be developed. The platform will work as an on-line part of the course, which will be available in English. New educational material will be developed and uploaded into the platform. The educational material will be available to the students who will follow the course and also to anyone who is interested in the subject. The educational material to be developed includes instruction and teaching material, guidance to the methodologies which will be taught and fieldtrip guides. Also, instruction manuals to new approaches and methodologies, for laboratories, field work and modelling, which will be covered by the new curriculum. Innovative educational and training modules will be developed and applied e.g. training videos for both laboratory and field work techniques and also GIS modules videos to be used for different kinds of modelling. Briefly, this project is composed by five independent and interrelated step-lines: -Modernisation of the UoA Masters Program Degree, by the expertise of renowned scientist of international institutions. -Introduction of new educational methods, which will lead to a higher quality of education. -Strategic use of Information and Communication Technologies, thru an on-line e-class, with innovative video and audio teaching educational materials. -Skill development for the participating teaching staff and students thru the Intensive Study Programme -Preparation of highly trained students in the field of the courses, in order to raise the graduates' chances for finding a better and more fulfilling employment Compendiously the activities are: Long-term teaching or training assignments (6 months /year); Intensive Program (16 days & approx. 20 students /year).
