LabEx training initiatives

Training courses financed by LabEx BASC :

> Recurrent support for the ECOTROP-Arc d'Emeraude tropical ecology field schools in Gabon and "Man and Biodiversity" in Cameroon: These schools are aimed at African, but also European, students, to train a generation of managers and researchers aware of environmental management issues, as well as to consolidate a multidisciplinary research network in tropical Africa. Access the provisional presentation of their results at the 2017 BASC Days ECOTROP journée BASC 2017 ===>

In the longer term, prospective actions include:

•     Providing support for Master's students to acquire multidisciplinary skills outside predefined programs;
•     Creating online courses, including MOOCs and e-learning;
•     Strengthening connections with renowned international institutes to raise BASC's profile.
