Next International Medias School :
The MEDIAS Regional Research Network provides a regional focus for training
in interdisciplinary environmental science.
This is achieved through short courses, workshops and seminars.
An international School will take place at about two years intervals
in a different country.
The first International MEDIAS School took place in Niamey (Niger) in
December 1993, the second one in February 1995 in
Nairobi (Kenya),
both involving numerous collaborations
(CNES, French Ministry of Cooperation,
WMO,
UNEP,
ACMAD,
START, etc.).
Future Schools and workshops are planned in South Africa, Senegal, Israel, etc. MEDIAS, START and
IGBP-DIS (Data and Information System) have agreed to collaborate on DIS training in
Africa Dedicated workshops have taken place in Ivory Coast, Tunisia,
a Conference on Desertification and Land Degradation in the Mediterranean
in under preparation.
Didactic tools have been developed throughout
(e.g., Africa and Global Change data base) in collaboration with
NOAA-NGDC and
GDTA,
and are distributed within the network.
