Master Study of Environmental Resilience to Geohazards

ongoing

"The MaStER_G (Master Study of Environmental Resilience to Geohazards) project proposes a pioneering international master's program focused on environmental geotechnics and geohazard management bringing together institutions from Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, Iran and Brazil. Addressing key Erasmus+ priorities of environmental resilience, regional collaboration and educational inclusion, the program responds to increasing challenges posed by climate change and geohazards across the Western Balkans and beyond. Based on comprehensive needs analysis, the project will develop an integrated curriculum leveraging multidisciplinary expertise and real-world field experiences. Through its innovative ""learning by sharing experience"" methodology, students will study at actual geohazard sites while engaging in cross-border knowledge exchange through an interconnected network of six international laboratories. The program combines traditional engineering education with advanced digital tools and AI-supported learning, emphasizing critical thinking and practical problem-solving skills. Market analysis confirms strong employment prospects with the civil engineering sector facing workforce aging challenges. Through strategic partnerships between Higher Education Institutions and industry stakeholders MaStER_G aims to develop professionals capable of addressing complex geological and environmental challenges while fostering long-term regional resilience to geohazards."
