General Goal and objectives

Goal (general objective)

Strengthening the quality of higher education in usage of geospatial technology supporting urban and rural areas planning and sustainable and resilient management under climate change threats in Southern Mediterranean (SM) partner countries.

Purpose (specific Objectives)

  • To initiate enhancement of SM community engagement by promoting the use of geospatial technology in land and urban management by M26
  • To set up and implement web-based platform to share knowledge & know-how practical examples among project partners & stakeholders by M17
  • To improve the level of competencies and skills of teaching staff in SM HEIs by acquiring best-practice examples and innovations by M16
  • To modernise technology driven courses at HEIs in land and urban planning & management field in collaboration with the stakeholders in line with the Bologna requirements by M20
  • To create technological preconditions for SM HEIs by procuring up-to-date equipment by M18

Work Plan

MLUMSE project is divided into 9 WPs each with appointed WP leader: WP1 – led by UNIZG, WP2 led by KUL, WP3 led by UT, WP4 led by BU, WP5 led by UIZ, WP6 led by AUT, WP7 led by AU, WP8 led by UEMF and WP9 led by AABU. It means that responsibilities are evenly distributed, 9 out of 12 partners are WP leaders, and 6 out of 9 WPs are led by SM partners. WPs are logically organized, each covering specific set of activities which are interconnected with others and contributing to project success. MLUMSE Pert chart diagram is presented in the figure right.

The WP titles clearly indicate role of each WP, and role, activities and deliverables for each Task are described below. Covering several activities each WP is divided in 3 or 4 tasks where each task is covering one of them. Work in tasks is intentionally organized in a way that multiple partners take responsibility for specific task mixing combination of partners working together fostering networking among them. Due to costs of travel between EU and SM as well as SM to SM partners number of travels is a) optimized (limited) and b) organized that only necessary partners are travelling to certain national events (national training, multiplier event) enabling that key activities (trainings) are attended with higher number of participants.
