International course: Transboundary Biosphere Reserve - East Ore Mts. 2016
In 2013, we launched the international course devoted to Ecosystem services and sustainable development. The course is organized by J. E. Purkyne University (in Czechia) and Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (Germany). Following the introductory lectures of experts, students make bilateral teams solving different research topics that will be presented at the end of the semester.
The first part of the course was held in Septmeber 29-30 and included series of lectures (in Usti nad Labem) and excursion to Oelsen area in Saxony guided by dr. Hachmoeller from Landkreis Sachsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. Students now work on their topics, which will be presented during the mid-term meeting in Altenberg in November. Final reports must be sent to course teachers until the first week of February 2017 for their review, and completed projects will be presented in late March 2017 at HA Bernburg.
