Objective
Environmental protection is a concern for both enterprises and the authorities. A major effort has been made to encourage the development of environmental geotechnics, yet there are few specialists with the skills and know-how required to practice this profession. This pilot project aims to define a new training path and to define new occupational figures with the necessary technical and scientific skills.
GEOTEC will begin with a preliminary study highlighting technological development - on a European scale - in the geotechnic sector and similar development in universities and training organisations. The next step will be to create the models required to train future environmental geo-technicians. A series of practical assignments alongside a number of case studies will complete their training. Finally, a CD-ROM with simulations of concrete cases will help perfect and update what the trainees have learnt.
Results will be distributed via advertising brochures sent to public organisations and enterprises, and via a global project report available on the Internet.
Impact
This pilot project will contribute to increasing the professionalism of those involved in environmental protection.
