The EEAcademy is designed to encompass capacity-building and educational activities in knowledge areas where policy needs are evolving and where the EEA/Eionet experience and competences need further development to meet new challenges
There are three foci for knowledge developments:
- assessing systemic challenges,
- supporting sustainability transitions and
- improving integrated environmental assessment methods.
At its core, the EEAcademy seeks to preserve and nurture a unique body of existing organisational knowledge as well as experiment with new learning approaches in support of continuous knowledge innovation.
The EEAcademy seeks to:
- Integrate new knowledge and practices, tracking latest developments in the sustainability arena, tapping into the new type of knowledge needed to address sustainability challenges.
- Strengthen the current EEA/Eionet knowledge base, formalising and consolidating existing methodologies, encouraging new approaches and assess their quality and legitimacy in contrast with other approaches.
- Connecting knowledge and know-how that is otherwise fragmented (addressing integrated assessments, sustainability transitions and systemic challenges in a comprehensive manner).
- Learning from and building capacity within the Eionet and beyond, supplementing existing education programmes and supporting a community of practitioners in the field.
- Enhancing collaboration, mutual learning and knowledge sharing – towards the co-creation of knowledge in a transdisciplinary, reflexive approach.
- Future activities will be carried out in partnership with academia and/or other knowledge communities, including targeted cooperation with existing institutional projects or research activities.
Features:
Lecture Series and Seminars (including webinars)
- It is envisioned to develop an online web-based catalogue of lectures primarily aimed at sharing knowledge within EEA/Eionet.
- Based on selected strategic content which is open, prospective, and at the cutting edge of systemic innovation and change, with an overarching focus on supporting long-term transitions to sustainability.
- Attention is put on improving the leverage of existing knowledge and know-how in policy and decision making alongside the Scientific Committee.
Winter / Summer Schools and Training Workshops
- Primarily aimed at building capacity, these activities seek to enhance and transform the knowledge-base, through hands-on practical approaches applied to the specific working contexts or relevant content.
- Designed as learning processes, these programmes are normally conducted by joint EEA/Eionet teams, involving experts from partner institutions, academia or research communities.
- The activities focus on improving the know-how and professional development of knowledge actors and assessors in environmental sustainability especially those working in EEA/Eionet and EU bodies.
In the making:
- Knowledge Innovation Lab
- Online Learning Platform
