IUCLAND – International University Cooperation on Land Protection in European-Asiatic Countries, is an educational project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme under the Key Action 2 on “Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices”.
The aim of IUCLAND is to foster international cooperation among partner Universities through the implementation of training activities (namely summer schools and workshops) dedicated to the topic of Land Degradation. Indeed, the project promotes international cooperation at both regional and cross-regional level, by allowing the interaction among European, Far East Asian Central Asian partners.
The project implementation period is from 2015 to 2018.
Land degradation is a global problem, affecting about a quarter of the world’s land area (FAO, 2013) and impacts one out of three people (UNCCD, 2013), compromising welfare levels of populations that heavily depend on natural resources.
On 9th October 2018 will be held the round table "Actual Problems of Land Degradation in Kyrgyzstan" at Kyrgyz State Technical University a.n. I. Razzakova in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The event, lasting one day, will involve IUCLAND stakeholders for dicussion and debate.
IUCLAND baseline study containing relevant information with regard to all partners' higher education methodologies, research topics on Land Degradation, market and societal needs addressed in the field of the Land Degradation is now available also in Russian language.
