Environmental and resource economics is a sub-field of economics that applies tools of the economic theory and econometrics to such issues as climate change, air pollution, sustainable forest management, water use, pollution, land use, fisheries, recycling, and hazardous wastes. It has become a critically important sub-field due to growing environmental problems of the twenty-first century.
After completing this course, successful students will be able to understand, explain and critically assess:
- interactions between the economy and the environment
- the concepts of market failure and property rights
- environmental policy instruments
- revealed and stated preference techniques
- advantages and limitations of cost-benefit analysis
- conceptual framework and theoretical basis for environmental valuation
- central concepts and theories in natural resource modelling
- modelling of natural resources (e.g. fisheries, forest, wildlife).

nternational Trade in a general fashion, is about ensuring economic growth through the liberalisation of trade, which is regulated by the World Trade Organisation. To allow for the flow of goods across the world, further regulation or boundaries are necessary to provide legal certainty to the parties involved. Therefore, International Trade Law looks into the regulation of international sales of goods, modes of transport, insurances, financing modes, among other, which are essential to delimit the rights and obligations of the parties. This course offers an overview about the interplay between private and public actors.
- The course will introduce you to the theories justifying international trade, a general introduction to the World International Trade Law (WTO Law) and EU trade perspectives. By exploring the structure, principles, main WTO Agreements shaping international trade, you will be able to have a holistic approach to trade, meaning from both public law perspective and international transactions one. Furthermore, the COVID Pandemic challenged traditional notions and preconceptions about trade, this is why exploring what this challenges are is important in the context of this course.
- In this course you will learn: 1, about the interaction between the EU and WTO; and 2. the forced or challenge evolution of international trade during the pandemic. The study of the relationship between WTO and EU will consist of the analysis of the status of the EU in the WTO, and the legal effect of WTO law in the EU.

Course description:
This course will focus on one of the top 5 conservation concerns worldwide – the spread, establishment, and impact of invasive species in new locations. Students in the course will become familiar with ecological and evolutionary theories pertaining to species invasions, and with methods for assessing the spread and impacts of invasive species at local and global scales. The course will examine biological invasions at multiple levels, including: (1) ecological impacts and predictors of invasive species establishment and spread (e.g., competition, predation, symbiotic relationships); (2) evolutionary insights of invasions and recipient communities (e.g., founder effects, hybridization, spatial sorting, coevolutionary history; (3) management implications of invasive species establishment and spread (e.g., prevention, mitigation, eradication); and (4) the effects of human-induced global change (e.g., climate change) on the spread of non-native species.

Omics Technologies and Bioinformatics course is organised by the Turku Bioscience Centre. During the course students are introduced into the cutting-edge technologies and methodologies available for omics analyses and learn how these tools can be applied in biomedical research. Omics technologies facilitate high-throughput and unbiased investigation of the genome and its products. Omics techniques can be applied to study structure and variation of genomes (genomics), regulation of genome organization and gene activity (epigenomics) as well as measurement of abundancies and activities of genomic products, such as mRNAs (transcriptomics), proteins (proteomics) and metabolites (metabolomics) in diverse cells, tissues and conditions. These approaches and their integration can provide valuable information of biological processes in both healthy and disease conditions and molecular mechanisms underlying disease states. The methods also enable discovery of novel biomarkers and targets for therapeutic interventions. The course is divided in two parts: Module 1 introduces the technologies and their application while Module 2 covers the bioinformatical approaches and methods used in the analysis of the high-throughput omics data.
