Obiettivi Formativi
MET BIP is a hybrid programme that combines virtual and face-to-face lectures and training, with a focus on 3 main threats: marine pollution, bioinvasions and overfishing.
It offers the opportunity to learn about topics that usually are addressed superficially or that are left aside the study programme or specialization track, giving the chance to complement the training of the students.
Students attending MET-BIP will have the unique opportunity to experience interdisciplinar, transfrontier formation, while working in international groups and improving their soft-skills.
Expected outcomes:
1. To understand the implications of the main threats to marine environment and its sources, including climate change.
2. To be able to apply the acquired knowledge in specific practical tasks
3. To gain subject-specific and transversal skills both through theoretical and direct practical experience. Ex.:
a. Collect, record and analyse field/experimental data
b. Understand specific processes
c. Use and reference published works of other researchers
4. To develop and put into practice critical thinking for problem solving and task completion
5. To work in teams, communicate and collaborate with other students and colleagues
6. To get to know different research teams and research lines

Metodi didattici
The blended format of the programme involves a combination online lectures and face-to-face training activities, including laboratories and fieldwork.
All activities will be attended by a group of international students from the three European Universities that are partners of the project.
The virtual formative contents will be done through each University in-home resources (Webex, Zoom or similar) and will combine both theoretical lectures and practical exercises to be done in reduced student groups or individually. Lectures aim to be dynamic, switching from theoretical to practical and always with the assistance of the teaching staff.
The UPV/EHU activities will be 10 synchronous remote sessions of 50 min each. During these sessions, theoretical contents (seminars by teaching staff) and integrative exercises will be combined. In addition, students will have access to supplementary learning materials, such as reading materials (articles and reference works) and short videos. During the formative process, and after each theme, students will complete an online evaluation activity and they will receive the feedback of the results from the corresponding professor. A virtual-classroom for learning materials and tutorial sessions will be created in the UPV/EHU virtual area.
Similarly, the UAc virtual teaching will consist of 10 synchronous remote sessions of 50 min each, divided into 6 hours of theoretical contents and 4 hours of practical activities.

Verifica Apprendimento
We propose a continous evaluation process of the achieved learing outcomes. During the formative process, and specially during the virtual lessons/activities, the progression of the students will be evaluated by online tests/probes and a short report produced at the end of the module.
A final online test will be submitted to all participants to assess students individually on their level of acquisition of the major concepts and skills taught during the MET BIP. The scores will be converted into the different scoring systems adopted by each University, following the ECTS grading system and with the conversion process agreed by the three partner Universities.
Participants will be also asked to reply an anonymous questionnaire regarding their level of satisfaction of the different parts of the programme and to collect their suggestions for further improvements.

Contenuti
The programme offers a chance to follow an international training focused on the major threats to our oceans. It involves three universities, belonging to three different countries, of the European Higher Education System:
• University of Pavia (UNIPV, Italy): coordinating and hosting university
• University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU, Spain): virtual teaching
• University of Azores (UAc, Portugal): virtual teaching
The teaching staff of the three universities belong to research groups internationally recognized in the field of marine environment and the study of the impact of stress in marine organisms and resources. The three partners currently collaborate in the exchange of students and staff within the Erasmus Student and Staff Mobility Program, in the supervision of PhD students in co-tutelle, and in Erasmus Mundus awarded master programs. In addition to Faculty members, teaching staff also includes researchers at the Plentzia Marine Station (PiE- UPV/EHU). PiE is part of the European Marine Biological Research Centre (EMBRC) and the coordinator of EMRC Spain node.
The course programme is composed of three main topics and each university academic team will be teaching according to their expertise as follows:
• Marine bioinvasions; underwater noise pollution; marine micro-organisms as indicators: UNIPV; physical mobility

◦ 5 days (40 hours) of face-to-face lectures and training, including fieldwork and lab analysis
• Chemical pollution and ecotoxicology: UPV/EHU; virtual teaching
