European University for Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability
The EU-CONEXUS teaching, research and innovation programmes include the totality of social, economic and environmental problems and opportunities that coastline areas are facing today. EU-CONEXUS is focused on urban and semi‐urban coastlines because they are increasingly densely populated areas and very important, for inter alia, aquaculture and fisheries, energy, tourism. At the same time these coastlines are most vulnerable areas with regard to the consequences of climate change.
The European University is highly integrated at all levels – educational, scientific, administrative – and transnationally organised. It also relies on intensified personal contacts to create a solid base of cooperation and understanding.
