Erasmus Mundus (STEDE) Scholarships

Overview

Erasmus Mundus STeDe Master in Sustainable Territorial Development aims to create experts in the area of sustainable territorial development. More concretely it trains professionals to be able to help organizations acting in the territory (enterprises, local communities, civil society organizations) to draft sustainable development policies for economic, social, environmental, international and intercultural management.

The Master concerns the economic competitiveness, social inclusion, environmental protection, international cooperation and intercultural relation challenges of territorial development focussing not only on local communities, but also on enterprises, non-state actors and civil society organizations. It also aims to offer an example of sustainable territory involving all local organizations, which should have human resources available and able to promote sustainable development.

The Master refers to the ability of:

- giving recommendations in the area of sustainable territorial development in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss;

- taking part in the idea, analysis and management of a sustainable development policy on the territory;

- assessing the different validation tools for sustainable development actions and policies within public and private territorial organizations.
