Training summary

This Master is structured around the following axes:

  • sustainable development in island and intertropical environments

  • risk management

  • the best knowledge of societal dynamics in the southwest of the Indian Ocean.


It mobilizes, in close proximity and with the best possible efficiency, a team of teachers-researchers whose work, lessons, experiences and expertise have long been focused on the structuring axes of the Master's degree. .

Training aims

This training is specifically designed to produce operational executives and to capitalize on territorial expertise which, regionally, is still largely lacking in many local authorities and administrations or even in numerous technical services, associations or design offices in Reunion and beyond.

This training is built with the ambition and concern to develop very practical training content close to realities on the ground. It is also designed to prepare some of the future Master's graduates to continue in research and undertake a doctorate.
