An Environmental approach to the Sustainable Development Goals in the framwork of Circular Economy

14-16 July 2021

The interdisciplinary Centre CRETUS, organizes a summer school from 14 th to 16th of July 2021 at the Faculty of Biology within the program “Universidade de Verán” promoted by University of Santiago de Compostela

Dates : 14, 15 and 16 July 2021

Coordination: María Teresa Barral Silva and María Ángeles Pereira Sánchez

Secretary: Sonia Suárez Martínez

Place: Aula Magna – Faculty of Biology – Campus Vida USC

Teaching hours: 25h

 

The main objective of this course is to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to the environment, analysing the integration of scientific and technical knowledge with the concepts and tools of the new paradigm of the circular economy (CE). The aim is to analyse how environmental, economic and social knowledge and techniques converge with the cross-cutting proposal of the CE, in order to move towards the SDGs.

Targeted to:

Graduates, master students, diploma holders or students of environmental disciplines, technicians in the field of
environmental science and in general anyone interested in the subject of the course.

Enrolment:

Registration period: from 10 May to 2 July 2021.

Climate Change: the five phases of grief

The Nonlinear Physics group (GFNL) of the University of Santiago de Compostela organizes within the program of «University of Verán 2019«, this course on the problem of climate change focused from an integral point of view from September 2 to 6 in the Faculty of Physics of the USC.
The program, in which up to 20 rapporteurs participate, is structured in 5 sessions: denial, anger, depression, negotiation and acceptance, titles that allude to the 5 phases through which a person goes through a serious problem. Through this tour it is intended that the participant not only acquires knowledge about the problem but also critical ability to draw their own conclusions.

The main objective of this proposal is that students obtain a vision with a scientific and realistic basis on climate change as well as the possibility of appreciating the complexity of the proposed solutions to mitigate it.
In addition to their causes, the effects on ecosystems will be addressed in detail, and their impact on society will be analyzed.
