The Faculty of Science, through its Department of Chemistry, and under the tutelage of the University of Monastir (UM), is engaged in an Erasmus +project, MEHMED, (click here) coordinated by the University of Girona in Spain. This project aims to launch an international master’s degree in environmental change resulting from climate change. The project brings together (see table below), three European universities, two Tunisian universities, three Algerian universities and three Moroccan universities in addition to three support structures (WUSMED, ANPR and IMT).
Presentation:
The Erasmus MEHMED project (No. 598826-EPP-1-2018-1-ES-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP), of which the University of Monastir is a partner through the Department of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science of Monastir, is a project whose main goal is the launch of an international master’s degree in eight universities on the southern shore of the Mediterranean basin (two Tunisian universities, three Moroccan and three Algerian universities). The Master’s degree is intended for university graduates who wish to specialize in the professional analysis and management of environmental issues, in the private sector or in public institutions and non-governmental organizations.
The master’s programme will focus on environmental issues specific to the Mediterranean basin, which are widely common to all countries and partners participating in the MEHMED project. It is important to note that the Mediterranean region is considered one of the regions most affected by the effects of global environmental change, which has a particularly significant impact in this region because of its socio-environmental characteristics.
The general and specific objectives of the MEHMED project:
Train professionals to design and implement a sustainable and particularly effective model for dealing with socio-economic and socio-environmental problems.
Train different scientific approaches to the study of environmental change.
Apply them to managing specific environmental changes at the local and regional levels.
Identify adaptation processes and sustainable management instruments based on the evaluation of adaptation strategies.
Acquire the basic knowledge to analyse, diagnose and manage global environmental changes.
Acquire the basic knowledge to manage the reduction of impacts on society and the environment and facilitate social and environmental adaptations.
Acquire the expertise, skills and tools needed to solve the problems mentioned above.
Support Committees:
The assembly, implementation and implementation of the MEHMED project at the Monastir University level is carried out by several committees formed under the responsibility of the university’s president, Prof. Hédi Bel Haj Salah, legal representative. The local steering committee of the project Chaired by Prof. Hatem Dhaouadi, includes Prof. Hatem Majdoub, Director of the Department of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science of Monastir specializing in natural substances and Prof. Sonia Dridi-Dhaouadi, Senior Lecturer at the Preparatory Institute for Engineering Studies in Monastir and specialist in Environmental Chemistry.
The Steering Committee is supported in its work by an Academic Council which includes:
– Ms Rym Charradi, Engineer by training, Director of the CRT/LAX and board member of the University of Monastir,
– Mr Seifeddine Kacem, Chairman and CEO of AGRI LAND, national leader in green extraction with CO2 SC,
– Walid Fkih, Engineer at ONAS – Head of Division and under expert contract with our institution (ONAS is an associate partner in this project),
– Sabria Barka, PhD in Biological Sciences, Research Teacher at ISBM and member of the Executive Board of the Eco-Conscience Environmental Association,
– Ms Abir Brahem, Director at um and head of the employability observatory.
