The effects of the socio-environmental crisis we are experiencing require urgent responses that integrate different fields and forms of knowledge. This requires human resources with interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary training. The course combines various scientific and humanist fields to encourage a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts and the use of interdisciplinary research methodologies. It also explores key aspects of environmental issues, contributing both theoretically and in terms of everyday practices and interventions to the development of an awareness that promotes the adoption of a sustainable lifestyle. This course is delivered exclusively via distance learning (e-learning). This format enables multiple and collaborative interactions, connecting people in different locations at a time that suits them.
