"Working in and for Protected Areas is one of the most interesting,
challenging and rewarding responsibilities you can have. After some 15
years of planning and consultancy work for Protected Areas, I am very
proud to be in charge of developing and running this MSc programme with
considerable support from the experts on the Advisory Board and an
international team of lecturers. We want to present a comprehensive
course that offers a proper and efficient development of European
Protected Areas. I find this MSc programme to be a unique platform for
exchanging experiences. I am looking forward to meeting the participants
from different Protected Areas, representing some of the most beautiful
and precious regions on the continent."
