Consistent with the project structure, e-learning and cross-media modules will be implemented to support the course delivery phase.Dissemination activities and transfer of teaching and learning outcomes are foreseen, which will extend the audience across Europe.<< Results >>The four main results of the project will be: a tested and validated training model ready for replication and transferability in another university, governmental and scientific contexts (PR1).A tangible result of more than 200 people trained with cutting-edge scientific and practical skills (PR2).An E-learning module tested, validated, replicable and disseminable (PR3).Activation of a European community of practice (teachers, researchers,and professionals) on EU Biodiversity strategy (PR4).
