The course is opened every academic year. Five days of field excursion to a selected European protected area follows theoreticla lactures. Students are often from Europe and outside Europe countries, and therefore the English is a main language of this course.
Students will understand the issues of strategic planning in nature conservation. They will gain practical experience with teamwork in the preparation of a strategic development plan in a protected area.
