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 10th January 2019 will be held the workshop entitled "Land Degradation: Overview of international approaches and knowledge sharing" at Università degli Studi Internazionali di Roma "Aula 3"- UNINT, Rome (Italy) starting at 9.30 a.m. The event will represent an opportunity to intract with relevant stakeholders sharing with them IUCLAND project results.
First IUCLAND NEWSLETTER has been published and it is available for free download in the upper section RESOURCES. Upcoming project's newsletter in January and February will keep you updated about project's achievements and Land Degradation topic in the world.
