ATLAS enhances the current state-of-the-art and builds capacity in the topic area by designing a route planner for training in land use policies and sustainability impact assessment that will lead to appropriate professional qualifications. The methods and tools to be transferred will relate to local, regional and national levels.

The ATLAS database still reflects largely the status of 2007. At this moment a major action is being carried out to update the courses included and to add important new entries. If you would observe any inconsistencies or update requirements, or would suggest new entries, please inform us at ATLAS@UNISCAPE.EU

During the lifetime of the project Atlas will establish a database with a good overview of the current educational provision in the area of land use and sustainability impact assessment at different educational levels throughout Europe.

 There is a major challenge to co-ordinate the education and training provision in the area of land use change as a consequence of accelerated policy developments, especially in the new EU member states. Good examples of training opportunities in sustainability issues will have to be identified. The EU wide agreements on BSc - MSc levels in education will form an excellent background for international co-ordination in education. Also, there is no agreed credit points system for all courses such as short or PhD courses. ATLAS will take this into due consideration, enhancing the analysis of SIA.
