Conference
"Education and Training for
Sustainable Built Environment (SBE)"
3-4 October, 2005
Introduction
In almost all European Universities and schools of architecture and
town and country planning, departments, architectural studios or
courses have started focusing on sustainable development
programs, either specifically for the European context, or developing
from existing structures that worked in the international cooperation
policy sector. Themes like bioclimatic building, conservation of
heritage, eco-tourism, appropriate technologies, low-cost housing ,
good governance and participatory planning ,urban and environmental
design,...are organised at master training level, post-diploma
specialisation or doctorate programmes.
Research lines are also active in these fields, encouraged by
governments, European commission or European sicence foundations.
The two major groups of instituions -those who work on European
problems and those working on third world issues - have quite different
approaches, based on the various economic, technologic and cultural
contexts, in spite of the so-called globalisation.
