M3EP: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in European Environmental Economics and Policy

M3EP: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in European Environmental Economics and Policy is a 2-year MSc programme delivered collaboratively by five 4EU+ universities. In the first year of studies, the students of the programme enrol at the University of Copenhagen. Throughout the first year, they gain a firm disciplinary and transdisciplinary footing in both environmental economics and environmental policy and politics. They get acquainted with a foundational grasp of key concepts and analytical frameworks in economics and political science. In addition, they make themselves familiar with the process through which EU’s environmental policies are created and implemented.

In the second year, students choose one of the other four universities of the consortium (Heidelberg, Milan, Prague, or Warsaw). At Charles University in Prague, The Policies and Politics of the Green Transition mobility track is offered jointly by the Institute of Political Studies and the Institute of Sociological Studies. Students involved in this track will choose one of two orientations: Public Policy for Green Transition or European and Global Politics of Green Transition.

The Institute of Political Studies is responsible for the second of the other orientations: European and Global Politics of Green Transition. This orientation introduces students to politics and political analysis in the context of European or global organisations. In addition, students can create individual profiles through their choices between elective courses concerning various aspects of politics and governance in the EU and global institutions related to the green transition.

M3EP prepares students to understand the green transition as one of the most complex and urgently demanding policy areas for the EU and its member states in the 21st century. The graduates of the programme are qualified to design and implement policy solutions to the complex environmental challenges facing European and international societies today. They are prepared to become professionals within small to large private companies engaging in various efforts in the overall context of sustainability, governmental bodies and public agencies involved in developing and implementing European and national environmental policies, and universities and research institutions focused on research related to sustainability and the green transition.

Academic supervisor of the programme is prof. PhDr. Ing. Ondřej Císař, Ph.D. 

Academic coordinator for the programme at the Institute of Political Studies is doc. PhDr. Jan Karlas, M.A., Ph.D.
