Erasmus Mundus Master - Physiology and Medicine of Human in Space and Extreme Environments

ended

The aim of the EMDM Physiology and Medicine of Space and Extreme Environments (SpaceMed) is to design a completely new and fully integrated Master (including a single joint degree, exploiting the opportunities offered by the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes) in Physiology and Medicine in Space and Extreme Environments which is offered as a full-time two-year 120 ECTS programme. This project involves three European High Education Institutions with leading human space physiology scientists that will join forces, pool resources, and develop common mechanisms related to quality assurance, accreditation and recognition of degrees and credits: Université de Caen Normandie, France (UCN-FR); Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany (HUB-GE); Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School at Institut Jožef Stefan, Ljubljana, Slovenia (JSLI-SLI). This project also involves associated partners (space agencies, research organizations, firms), each of them having specific fields of expertise. The objectives of this Master's degree are to provide graduates with a high level of knowledge and competence in physiology and space medicine. Specifically, the objectives of this Master's degree will be: (a) to train future researchers; (b) to train doctors and scientists who will be involved in medical aptitude to space flight; (c) to educate top skilled engineers who will be able to design, optimize, operate, and validate aerospace life support devices; (d) to provide students with an international network as well as a genuine European learning and an integrated multicultural and language experience.
