Training stakeholders – Mobile Education Hub
Blue-green economy are deeply interconnected. Think globally- act locally as suggested during the Rio+ 20 conference has become a very useful approach for local contributions to achieve the SDGs. When it comes to conversation, knowledge is power and educating the younger generations is the key. ICR developed the 'Mobile Education Hub' programme for Sustainable Islands and Coastal Areas. We focus on case studies at the intersection between blue and green economy, provide an understanding of complex systems, of trade-offs between blue and green spaces essential to co-existence and effective management and deployment of resources.
PhD Students and Research
The ICL Lab supports the research conducted by PhD students and this research is integral to the development of the lab. PhD students play an active role in the lab, attending and presenting at meetings and organising some of the labs activities. Their work is an important contribution to the development of the lab’s research and the lab’s novel models provide a rich resource for their studies. This symbiotic relationship is further enhanced through internships which offer our students an opportunity to step fully into the work of the lab.
