The JEMES Experience –<br />

Change your Perspective!<br />

Today, knowledge on environmental technology only is not enough to develop professional<br />

and research activities for a sustainable development in an international<br />

context. Neither can a merely economical or managerial education alone provide<br />

the necessary expertise for a responsible treatment of global resources. Environmental<br />

problems require a more integrated approach.<br />

★ Two general orientations<br />

★ Quotes from academics<br />

Prof. Uwe Neis, JEMES Coordinator<br />

“I am sure that JEMES will provide an outstanding<br />

learning experience, scientifically<br />

as well as on personal level.”<br />

Prof. Carlos Borrego, UA, Portuguese<br />

ex-Minister for the Environment<br />

“JEMES is an excellent opportunity to learn<br />

environmental issues within the European<br />

mobility spirit.“<br />

Prof. Wolfgang Calmano, TUHH<br />

“We always wanted to include competences<br />

as scientific curiosity, teamwork, leadership<br />

and social responsibility into our programme,<br />

and through this cooperation we<br />

can do so. Fantastic achievement!”<br />

Prof. Per Christensen, AAU<br />

“This programme creates the best conditions<br />

for high level education in an international<br />

environment. A wide variety of<br />

topics ensure that JEMES students will<br />

achieve relevant skills for working in all<br />

kinds of international contexts.”<br />

Prof. Rainer Zahn, UAB<br />

“JEMES promisses a novel and exciting concept<br />

of teaching environmental sciences<br />

across the isles of a range of disciplines. A<br />

truly inspiring experience for students and<br />

teachers alike.”<br />

JEMES offers two different „streams“: Stream<br />

1 being more oriented towards Technology<br />

(Environmental Technology Engineering),<br />

and Stream 2 more towards Social Science /<br />

Management (Environmental Management<br />

Engineering). In both streams, you will be<br />

offered fundamental scientific courses,<br />

which provide you with a common knowledge<br />

base, and topics that reflect the different<br />

profiles of each university.<br />

All JEMES students choose and obtain 75% of<br />

their credits in one and 25 % in the other<br />

stream. You start in your preferred stream<br />

and continue in the other stream in the<br />

second semester, before deciding for good in<br />

which direction to specialise. The third semester<br />

is characterised by its focus on project<br />

work, whereas the fourth semester is devoted<br />

to research leading to the Masters thesis.<br />
