Geoconservation education, research and outreach : the experience of the University of Minho (Portugal)
| Resumo: | Geoconservation is an emerging geoscience. In order to gain recognition among the scientific community and in society in general, education lato sensu is of paramount importance. This work presents the experience of the University of Minho with geoconservation education during the past 10 years, namely with graduation and postgraduation courses, teachers training, research, and outreach. Working in those different levels enhanced the university internationalisation with an increase in students and staff exchange. In order to reinforce worldwide recognition universities should strengthen their strategy towards geoconservation by creating courses and developing research projects. |
