EPD-NET stands for “Filling the Gap: Development of Ecological Planning and Design Learning Network and Adaptive Smart Training Module for Disaster Resilient and Sustainable Cities”. It connects ecological planning and design knowledge with a learning network and smart training tools.
EMERGE — Emergency Architecture Master’s Programme: Establishing a Global Resilience Education — is an Erasmus Mundus Design Measures project coordinated by Eskişehir Technical University (101325574). As project manager, I lead overall coordination. Six academic institutions work on a shared curriculum, mobility arrangements, learning outcomes and quality assurance.
EMERGE is a programme design project; the future degree structure and admissions arrangements are to be developed through the project.
