Jean-Nicolas Poussart is a Lecturer at the Lund University Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science. Major motivations for his work have always been to help advance the understanding and commitments towards more transparent and open data policies, to frame knowledge needs for integrated environmental assessments, and push for wider engagement in environmental policy-related processes.
Much of his career has revolved around international relations for sustainable development, conducting capacity development actions as expert for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). For Lund University, he was recently project lead for a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on sustainability and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is a contact point for commissioned Education. He is currently involved in several EU & international projects, as coordinator or project manager (Horizon Europe; Erasmus+; Sida). Jean-Nicolas is also the Lund University coordinator for the Erasmus+ Joint MSc in Geo-information science and earth observation for environmental modelling and management (with 3 partner universities in The Netherlands, Belgium and Estonia).
