Objetivo The project aims to establish the applicant an international expert and leader on the theory of socio-natural co-evolution and its application to water resource studies. Training will consist of selected courses' attendance, tutoring and joint research work with the originator of the theory, Pr R. Norgaard, at UCB. Complementary skills' training will be provided in qualitative social research methods, writing for publications and teaching. The applicant will also increase his international expertise on water policy working on the case of California, benefiting from access to the California Water Resources Archives and the several relevant colloquia at UCB.Research during the fellowship will work on improving the theory of socio-natural co-evolution, develop a conceptual co-evolutionary model for the analysis of complex water management systems and apply it on two diverse empirical cases. The policy implications of a co-evolutionary perspective will be sought and linked to on-going debates on EU water policy. Knowledge acquired in the outgoing period will be re-integrated in DPRD/UTHES through the development of a related long-term research programme and group, and the establishment of related advanced courses. This will contribute to the upgrading of research and curriculum in a vibrant yet new department, in a less favoured EU region.The project is the first stage in a longer-term collaboration between the two host institutes including plans for a regular exchange of students, researchers and teaching staff as well as development of a joint research programme on co-evolution. The project will be integrated in relevant European research consortiums and it will contribute to the development of a network of excellence on co-evolutionary natural resource studies, thus promoting scientific excellence in the European Research Area Ámbito científico social sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiespublic policiessocial sciencessociologygovernancenatural sciencesearth and related environmental scienceshydrologynatural sciencesbiological sciencesevolutionary biologyengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringnatural resources managementwater management Programa(s) FP6-MOBILITY - Human resources and Mobility in the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration "Structuring the European Research Area" under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 Tema(s) MOBILITY-2.2 - Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowships (OIF) Convocatoria de propuestas FP6-2002-MOBILITY-6 Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación OIF - Marie Curie actions-Outgoing International Fellowships Coordinador UNIVERSITY OF THESSALY Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Pedion Areos VOLOS Grecia Ver en el mapa Enlaces Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos Participantes (1) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo ENERGY AND RESOURCES GROUP, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY Estados Unidos Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 310 Barrows Hall BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA Ver en el mapa Enlaces Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos
