Project PUNCHY

The PUNCHY project aims to contribute to the dissemination of transition issues and the adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change in higher education. The 12 activities proposed in this project, without seeking to be exhaustive, illustrate the key issues of transition and the adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change.

The PUNCHY teaching resources created by FERED are now available on the Unistra Moodle (by searching with the keyword FERED) and on the unit portal.
Moodle link - Unit link

Don't hesitate to consult these portals and share the resources with your network!

As a reminder, FERED's contribution to this national project has made it possible to develop resources for a scientific approach to sustainability issues that are accessible to all Masters courses.

FERED resources include :
- more than 7 hours of videos on the transition, adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change
- quizzes to test your knowledge and discover various aspects of environmental science.


We would like to thank the members of FERED who contributed to this project.

These resources are evolving and can be enriched by contributions on themes not yet covered.

Project PUNCHY  Transition, adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change

The PUNCHY project contributes to the dissemination of transition issues and the adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change in higher education.


The proposed module mobilises concepts and approaches in hydrology, geochemistry, ecology, microbiology, geography, law, sociology, economics and engineering sciences around societal issues to define future scenarios and question the possible trajectories of the socio-ecosystems in which we live. This project is based on the dynamics of the Strasbourg academic site for the promotion of sustainability sciences carried out by RISE, in particular to prepare students to lead and accompany the transition of our societies towards ecologically and socially viable methods.

The 12 activities proposed in this project, without seeking to be exhaustive, make it possible to illustrate the key issues of the transition, adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change.

The details as well as the hourly volumes associated with each micro-content are provided in the section below.

To this end, the project is organised around 12 themes:

1- Transition, adaptation and resilience of socio-ecosystems to global change
Objective: The first micro-content aims to introduce the concepts associated with the key words, and the second aims to introduce the 11 other multi- and trans-disciplinary activities
