UE4 Cross disciplinary issues

Frédéric Cherqui (fcherqui@gmail.com)

In this course, students will organize three seminars to think about and understand cross-disciplinary real-world issues. These seminars will focus on:

• Challenges for biodiversity and socio-hydro systems: representation of the nature, legal dimension...
• Managing water related risks: flooding, pollution…
• Actions and incentives in the water sector: political incentives, water framework directive, participative approaches…

Students will learn how to:

• Prepare a seminar (program, speakers, communication, etc.),
• Invite and manage the speakers
• Manage the seminars (open to the public, chair, lead the discussion …)
• Communicate on an event (before and after)
• Write synthesis

For each seminar, students will write a short scientific synthesis. After the third seminar, students will generate a report describing what they learned from this experience and the water challenges presented during the seminars.
