Environmental protection is certainly the greatest current challenge to mankind as it plays a crucial role in economic and societal development throughout the world. By cleaving to this challenge, we will be able to generate sustainable development within human societies. The understanding of direct and indirect effects of global change on biodiversity will be crucial for management and conservation of natural environments. Over the last decades, the analyses carried out by ecologists have revealed the great fragility of natural balances and the dramatic ecological consequences of unwise human activities.

The Erasmus Mundus Masters Course "European Master in Applied Ecology" (EMMC-EMAE), with the support of European commission, plans to form specialists able to develop and lead ecological projects throughout the world by providing them with a wide range of competences and skills, completed by a professional specialization in one of several leading fields of Ecology (Conservation, Toxicology, Functional ecosystem dynamics, Evolutionary ecology, Environmental sciences).
