Présentation
In response to societal demands for a better understanding of geobiological processes such as the ones triggering ecological crisis as we experience today, and to new considerations of geological archives as scientific and societal heritage, but also as a limited resource to be managed in a sustainable way, numerous applications of palaeontology (such as environmental micropaleontology , science communication and journalism, heritage management and environmental protection) appeared the last decade. The objectives of Pangea Program is, by integrating strengths within a consortium of 4 acknowledged European universities and associated partners, to respond to the academic challenges raised by these renewed needs in palaeontological expertise.
Savoir-faire et compétences
Knowledge and skills blocks
The master's programme is organised into different knowledge and skills blocks (BCC):
BCC - Acquire the general knowledge necessary to understand past and present ecosystems, both degraded and natural
BCC – Conduct an environmental assessment of the current and past situation and/or a research protocol
BCC - Implement a current or past environmental study and/or scientific project, either individually or collectively, and build your professional project by communicating with tools adapted to different audiences
The educational aim of the programme is to qualify students to a level of excellence in one of the three specialized fields of Earth Sciences: Palaeobiology, Geoconservation and Applied Palaeontology. The common goals of these three streams include development of the following abilities:
- To conduct independent analysis, to define a thesis in Earth Sciences (problem) and to construct a research programme based on existing knowledge, literature and independent observations,
- To solve complex problems including the independent use of observation, measurement and model methods,
- To present project results comprehensively, both orally and in writing,
- To work in a team, both in a leading function or within a collaboration.
By bringing together forces and specialization, students will be offered 3 complete tracks targeting 3 possible professional integrations depending their sensibility and professional project.

A STRONG CONSORTIUM
The University of Lille (France), Uppsala University (Sweden), the University of Minho (Portugal) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), capitalising on their existing collaborations, and their complementarity in terms of specialisations, working methods, and collaboration partners produces a programme that could not be offered by one organisation alone.
The University of Lille is in charge of the general coordination and initiation of the Pangea programme activities in collaboration with the partners.
The Academic Board or Executive Board is formed by the local coordinators of each partner university (Lille, Uppsala, Athens and Minho). This Academic Board meets at least twice a year (or more often if necessary). It coordinates the programme’s development and delivery and acts as a forum consultation and cooperation for the implementation of the Pangea Master Programme through Partner institutions.
