LANDMARK is a pan-European multi-actor consortium of leading academic and applied research institutes, chambers of agriculture and policy makers that will develop a coherent framework for soil management aimed at sustainable food production across Europe. The LANDMARK proposal builds on the concept that soils are a finite resource that provides a range of ecosystem services known as “soil functions”. Functions relating to agriculture include: primary productivity, water regulation & purification, carbon-sequestration & regulation, habitat for biodiversity and nutrient provision & cycling. Trade-offs between these functions may occur: for example, management aimed at maximising primary production may inadvertently affect the ‘water purification’ or ‘habitat’ functions. This has led to conflicting management recommendations and policy initiatives. There is now an urgent need to develop a coherent scientific and practical framework for the sustainable management of soils. LANDMARK will uniquely respond to the breadth of this challenge by delivering (through multi-actor development): 1. LOCAL SCALE: A toolkit for farmers with cost-effective, practical measures for sustainable (and context specific) soil management. 2. REGIONAL SCALE - A blueprint for a soil monitoring scheme, using harmonised indicators: this will facilitate the assessment of soil functions for different soil types and land-uses for all major EU climatic zones. 3. EU SCALE – An assessment of EU policy instruments for incentivising sustainable land management. There have been many individual research initiatives that either address the management & assessment of individual soil functions, or address multiple soil functions, but only at local scales. LANDMARK will build on these existing R&D initiatives: the consortium partners bring together a wide range of significant national and EU datasets, with the ambition of developing an interdisciplinary scientific framework for sustainable soil management.

Given the cultural differences, economic situations and National legislations among the different EU countries, CSR implementation has reached different level of development, influencing greatly the provision of trainings in the companies and the provision of professional support by business consultant. One of the reasons for the increased level of interest is the participation of many western EU companies on CEE territories and the growing relations and economic interests, as observed by the partners. The present proposal is aimed at finding the best education solution to formulate a curriculum for the production of a training in CSR, that can satisfy the needs of future participants especially the ones coming from Central and East Europe,. The proposed curriculum can offer them a better prospective on how sustainable and ethical organizations operate and to learn how to get enterprises interested in improve their CSR activities. Such care for employees and customers by a company has a direct impact on employees’ productivity, company’s image and with a huge benefit on company's competitiveness. By actively promoting social responsibility at all organizational levels, enterprises can significantly contribute to the European Union’s objectives of sustainable development and creation of the highly competitive social market economy. The partners analysed different aspects and situations related to sustainable and socially responsible organization, ethical behaviours, and sustainable management of resources. Their aims has been to investigate the most appropriate learning approach to be applied for delivering training to managers, business consultants, government officials and other professionals responsible for implementing CSR activities or monitoring them. During the project lifetime, both participants and stakeholders have been invited in taking part in different workshops to discuss the selected topics and assess the products as prepared by the partners. Those are the results that that be sustained after the project conclusion +Curriculum and Training Structure for Business Consultants and Managers+Curriculum of Train the Trainer training: Leading CSR, Certified Program+Engagement strategy to involve participants in the local workshopsFor this reason, the project is expected to have a positive impact on the partners and on the participants as: - Increase awareness on the importance of CSR method - Improved quality of the work developed in the procedures of evaluation of the learning of the participants and their certification;- Enlarged ability to use of simpler terminology, more interesting and engaging for target groups and stakeholders -New and more engaging methodology and tools to implement the CSR oriented tasks and activities

GREENANO programme is dedicated to fostering the development of Nanomaterials for Green and Digital Transitions which require new performant and sustainable devices. The programme is jointly designed and implemented by the Consortium of four European higher education and research institutions: the University of Lorraine in France, Tor Vergata University of Rome, the CNR Institute of Structure of Matter in Italy, and Jozef Stefan International Postgraduate School in Slovenia.The programme will train a new generation of engineers, researchers, and sustainability managers to address the major challenges posed by green and digital transitions. It also will enhance the integration and internationalization of the European Higher Education Area by developing industrial and international partnerships and through its Non-Academic Advisory Board. Additionally, the programme provides students with an international and interdisciplinary educational experience through a jointly designed curriculum and mobility in three European countries.The curriculum is based on five pillars: Fundamental Science, Engineering, Sustainability, Practical Science, and Project. Each consortium partner will contribute training in their respective areas of expertise, including Materials Science and Physics (UL), Nanomaterials (UniTov), Nanostructures (ISM-CNR), Nanotechnologies and Processes and Environmental questions related to the industry (Jozef Stefan IPS).Up to 25-27 highly-qualified students from around the world will be admitted each year through a transparent and gender-balanced selection process. The students will spend the first semester in France, the second and third semesters in Italy and Slovenia, respectively, and the final semester will be dedicated to internships in research laboratories or companies. Upon successful completion of the program, the students will receive three national Master's degrees from UL, UniTov and Jozef Stefan IPS, as well as a Joint Diploma Supplement.
