Membership in the UVED (Virtual University of Environment and Sustainable Development) is the result of Aix-Marseille University's desire to train a large part of the student community in the challenges of the ecological and social transition. This desire is in line with the Jean Jouzel report of February 16, 2010, which is to "Raise awareness and provide training on the challenges of the ecological transition and sustainable development in higher education".
Joining UVED is the result of the desire of Aix-Marseille University to train a large part of the student community in the challenges of the ecological and social transition. This desire is in line with the Jean Jouzel report of February 16th, which is to "Raise awareness and provide training on the challenges of the ecological transition and sustainable development in higher education". Training students in these issues requires the training of trainers, proposed in connection with the CIPE (Center for Educational Innovation and Evaluation and the provision of educational tools) whose mission is to support, develop, and enhance the teaching skills of teachers, teacher-researchers and lecturers. Its objective is the development of quality teaching, thus promoting student success. This is why membership in the UVED is a real added value for the university.
The missions of UVED:
- To promote free and open access to knowledge in the field of the environment and ecological transition,
- To best equip teachers to educate themselves and their students on environmental and societal issues
. - Supporting institutions in integrating Sustainable Development (SD) and Social Responsibility (SR) issues into their teaching.
- To make knowledge accessible to all free of charge, to raise awareness, to inform, to educate and to train the greatest number of citizens, by proposing MOOCs on the major societal challenges and environmental issues.
- Helping to guide high school and university students with a MOOC "Discovering the jobs of the Ecological Transition, creator of jobs."
