Baldermann’s lessons concerned different topics of the paleo-geographic conditions of the Miocene period: clay minerals application in civil engineering and geology, the role of authigenic clay minerals in the biogeochemical cycle of iron and Paleo-climate evolution of Miocene sediments from the Valley of Lakes (Mongolia) revealed by multi-proxy approach.

Academician Ramiz Mammadov, which introduced the three-day meeting, welcomed the participants underlining the importance of the seminary, which aimed at promoting the development of scientific and practical cooperation between ANAS and the universities involved.

During the last day, it was held a workshop on “Geology of the Miocene Eastern Paratethys” which involved the director and scientists of ANAS institute, researchers of Institute of Geology and Geophysics, geologists of SOCAR and BP as well as professors and PhD, master and bachelor students participated in the workshop. Dr Yelena Tagiyeva from the Institute of Geography, Dr Shafag Bayramova from Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Prof Dr Sachsenhofer from Montana University, Nazim Abdullayev from BP gave a talk and discussed the geology of Miocene the Eastern Paratethys.

LIGHTHOUSE strongly believes in the importance of the mutualistic relationship between companies and universities and proudly chooses to actively support this kind of initiatives, both in Italy and in the countries where, as in Azerbaijan, has developed a strong presence.

Lighthouse has recently participated to the submission to the European Commission of a proposal concerning a Joint European Erasmus Mundus Master in WAter and COastal MAnagement (WACOMA). It is a 24 month program with a central focus on multidisciplinary aquatic, environmental and marine sciences. Based on an advanced teaching program, the Master aims at promoting an exchange of information with a direct involvement of the coastal end users and stakeholders.
The main objective of this program is the formation of Master academic training and capacity building program in the multidisciplinary domain of fresh water, marine and in general environmental sciences, with a solid knowledge of environmental and legal instruments.

The course

The course draws on EU research projects and case studies, as well as laboratory experiments and field trips. Students are trained in both the collection and analysis of data and the transformation of data into information. The training includes solving practical management problems of catchments, wetlands, coasts, Ports and in general freshwater and marine areas as well as the comparison of alternate solutions.
The proposed Master ‘WACOMA†is a 2 years program running over three periods at different leading European Universities, with research activities carried out at HEIs and Associate Members of the Consortium.

Our contribution

Lighthouse, which strongly believes in the importance of the mutualistic relationship between companies and universities, chooses to join the WACOMA Master Program and strengthens its collaboration with the universities

Lighthouse will actively support the initiative promoting the WACOMA Master within and outside the network in order to recruit and select students and participating in the advisory board meeting for external assessment/evaluation and the quality program. Moreover, Lighthouse will be able to collaborate giving advice, proposing adjustments to the course and taking part in teaching activities by offering specialised lectures and seminars.
