The SUNRISE curricula bring together a set of PhD-level courses designed to strengthen environmental research and education in the context of crisis and recovery. The syllabi translate SUNRISE principles into practice by combining resilience-oriented learning, interdisciplinary research, and modern, flexible teaching approaches.
They address key project objectives by:
- supporting post-war recovery and environmental resilience through targeted topics (e.g. ecosystem restoration, climate change, resource management);
- promoting innovative and interdisciplinary research skills;
- enabling flexible, blended learning environments adapted to current Ukrainian conditions.
Across the courses, students develop advanced competencies in areas such as environmental modelling, ecosystem services, biodiversity monitoring, and sustainable development, while working with real-world challenges and data.
Key Highlights
- Resilience in focus: Courses address post-war recovery, environmental risks, and climate adaptation
- Interdisciplinary approach: Linking ecology, technology, policy, and socio-economic systems
- Practice-oriented learning: Project-based work, real datasets, and case studies from Ukraine
- Flexible & blended formats: Designed for hybrid delivery and disrupted learning conditions
- EU & global alignment: Reflecting EU frameworks, SDGs, and international best practices
