The Joint Master
Course on Maritime Spatial Planning is a two-years advanced professional master
program designed within the Erasmus Mundus 2013/2019 program. Three high-rated
European universities participate: Universitā Iuav di Venezia as coordinator, University of Seville, University
of Azores. Students
will familiarize with key issues involved in policies formulation and planning
strategies for maritime space, to improve the management of resources from
an environmental, economic, social and legal perspective within the framework
of Maritime policies.
Maritime Spatial
Planning (MSP) is an innovative instrument based on up-to-date knowledge and
technologies to study the planet’s surface, striving to improve the
management of global resources. Nowadays, planners who traditionally dealt with
the transformation of cities, territories, environments and related issues must
face new marine challenges, and therefore play a fundamental role. Though for
years the planning system has 'turned its back to the sea', it is pivotal in
organizing and developing coastal areas beyond the CZM approach. The sea is
affected by economic, social and environmental changes and, in order to cope
with the continuing social and economic evolution, it needs to be included in
planning and land management strategies.
The aim of the Joint
Master Course on MSP is to prepare students to become specialists –
providing a multi-disciplinary background – to enable them to operate
both in public institutions as well as independent professionals or
researchers. As specialists they will have the know-how in planning, in
designing and evaluating projects and policies, which consider terrestrial,
coastal and marine dimensions. In addition, the course will provide the ability
to manage decision processes towards an adaptive and integrated approach. The
two-years master course provides a broad study perspective through a
crossed-thematical analysis and discussion on several marine contexts
(Mediterranean Sea, Baltic and North Sea, Black Sea, Atlantic Ocean). The added
value consists in the comparative analysis and the methodological interaction
among the institutions involved, together with knowledge transfer to the South
of the World.
The course is
developed by the MSP Consortium coordinated by the Universitā Iuav di Venezia.
The Consortium welcomes major professional entities from the coastal, marine
and maritime sectors as associated partners who are involved in teaching,
research and planning activities.
Erasmus
Mundus
The Joint Master
Course on Maritime Spatial Planning has been financed since its first edition
(2013/2015) by EACEA, and has been issued within the Erasmus Mundus program. We
have submitted our application for the 2018/2020 edition as well and we are
currently waiting for results, which will be notified in June 2018.
If the application is
successful, the course will be held under EU funding, and scholarships will be
available. See the related
