Education for resource preservation and efficiency: identifying and developing opportunities for all areas of education in Germany

2015
Book Chapters

Abstract

The pressure on natural resources and raw materials is continuously rising. Especially advanced industrialised nations show a significantly high usage and, therefore, action is required. Building up awareness for an efficient and conservative use of resources is an important step to a more sensitized society. This paper introduces the research project “BilRess” which has the objective to develop a Roadmap to integrate education for resource efficiency and resource preservation in all areas of education as part of the German Resource Efficiency Programme “ProgRess”. Central aspects comprise the composition, structure and proceeding of the project as well as some methodical approaches and intermediate results of the ongoing research project.

Project

A project is any undertaking, carried out individually or collaboratively and possibly involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular goal. An alternative view sees a project managerially as a sequence of events: a "set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations". A project may be a temporary (rather than a permanent) social system (work system), possibly staffed by teams (within or across organizations) to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints.

Project management

Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives. The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives.

Project manager

A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers have the responsibility of the planning, procurement and execution of a project, in any undertaking that has a defined scope, defined start and a defined finish; regardless of industry. Project managers are first point of contact for any issues or discrepancies arising from within the heads of various departments in an organization before the problem escalates to higher authorities, as project representative.
