5. Study visits

Understanding the main environmental challenges in production systems
Knowing the legal framework of Environmental and Industrial Licensing
Knowing the legal framework of the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (PCIP) regime and the best available techniques (BAT/BREFs) for different sectors of activity 
Knowing and applying the BREFS and BAT in industrial, agricultural and forestry production
Developing soft skills necessary for professional activity

MODULE 1
1. Single Environmental Licensing (LUA), Industrial Licensing and SIMPLEX Environmental

2. Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Regime (PCIP) and the best available techniques (BAT/BREFs) for several sectors of activity 

3. Simulations and applied work

MODULE 2

1.Best techniques available in agricultural and forestry production
• Soil management: soil mobilization; nutrient balance; soil erosion in semi-arid areas
• Control of crop enemies using clean technologies
• Forestry crops in the central region; norms associated with different forestry cultures.
• Agricultural activity and the defense of biodiversity in the EU – PEPAC 2023-27

2. Best techniques available in animal production

• Main environmental impacts of livestock farming on air, soil and water resources
• Main BAT for livestock activity (European BREFs and others)

Continuous evaluation:

Module 1 (50%) - Study of the applicability of licensing legislation to a real case (Report + Oral presentation)

Module 2 (50%) - Written test on agricultural and forestry BAT (25%) + Research work (25%)

Assessment by exam:

Assessment by written exam with theoretical and practical components, respecting the proportions of continuous assessment.
