Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Programme - 02.12.2009

The Environmental Technologies for Contaminated Solids, Soils and Sediments (ETeCoS3) EMJD programme

- is a programme that offers a number of international PhD scholarships and secondments. It provides education and research at PhD level, training its doctoral candidates to think globally and co-work in multidisciplinary research teams. This will make ETeCoS3 PhD alumni attractive scientists/engineers for European universities, institutes and industry.

 

The ETeCoS3 EMJD is centered around three key topics in environmental pollution:

i) heavy metals,

ii) recalcitrant organic pollutants and

iii) contaminated solids.

 

The EMJD focuses on fundamental and applied aspects to treat and remove these pollutants as well as on the development of recovery and reuse technologies with market potential. There will be a close connection to practical problems, as e.g. hot spots in the Balkan, brown fields in Czech Republic and sediments and soils polluted by mining activities in Minas Gerais (Brazil).

 

Objectives 

• train students at PhD level to be able to develop environmental technologies, with a strong focus on multidisciplinary and problem-based technology development.
• offer the PhD students a wide range of optional specialised and professional skills.
• promote networking and exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of environmental engineering between PhD students of all nationalities.
