e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

DEVELOPMENT OF A PAN EUROPEAN E-LEARNING MSC DEGREE IN TECHNOLOGY - ENHANCED FOREST FIRE FIGHTING LEARNING (MATEFL)

en
Abstract

This paper seeks to present the process of developing and deploying blended learning approach on forest fire fighting within European context. Between 2004 and 2007 Romania, Hungary, Estonia, the UK and Spain have reported 21,500 fires that destroyed nearly 100,000 ha of agricultural land and forest, with a total value of about 25 million. Wildland Fire Conference in Toledo in 2008 identified as an urgent need for techniques to combat fire to the forest company managers, ranchers, farmers, and managers of rural development projects. The objective of this work was to develop a E-Learning European Masters Program in Technology Enhanced Forest Fire Fighting Learning (MATEFL), with clear learning outcomes and learning materials, being funded by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), as an Erasmus Multilateral Project through project number 510184-LLP-2010-UK-ERASMUSECDCE. This project intended to deliver this new MSc in an integrated manner using the European Credit and Accumulation Transfer System and Diploma Supplement. A Virtual Learning Platform that contains learning materials in a digital format including text, audio-material, images and video-material was made by the project to support delivery across all participant European Institutions. The Erasmus Master course is integrated, of high quality, and this paper emphasis the importance of technology in designing and delivering by a consortium of higher education institutions of five European countries such a program.
