Description:

Environmental monitoring is of growing interest around the globe and there is a clear need for better education in this area. However, the progress is incredibly fast here and wireless sensor networking is a relatively new area of research, so no standard curricula are available yet. In 2012, the International School “Sustainable Wireless ICT Solutions for Environmental Monitoring” was organized by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in collaboration with a few other entities. The school aimed at exposing young scientists from around the world to the newest wireless solutions for environmental monitoring. The school was followed by an awareness conference, which aimed at identifying issues that would benefit from a wider scientific collaboration. This paper begins with general information about the ICTP educational activities related to wireless technologies and applications. Then it focuses on the program of the school and conference. It shows what topics were included (and what were disregard) and what approaches were applied in order to achieve the best results with the (very) limited resources available. Details are omitted here as the complete materials of the both events are available at the Internet (http://wireless.ictp.it) under the Creative Commons.
