Abstract Recently, nearly 500 study programmes related to environmental disciplines were detected in Europe (Lammel et al, Environ Sci Pollut Res 21:7211-7218 2014). Following good practice from the 16th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment (ICCE) in Oslo, during the 17th ICCE that took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, between 16 and 20 June 2019, a special Satellite Event dedicated to University Education in Environmental Sciences was organised. The session attracted students, teachers and experts from academia and industry/consulting. As conveners of the event, our aim was to provide an inspirative platform for presentation and discussion of curricula, present and future teaching methods and tools, and existing and new concepts of higher education of environmental topics. Keywords Education . Environmental sciences . ICCE
The event started with a sub-session related to study programmes. Dr. Christian Zwiener, a professor of Environmental Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Geosciences, Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen, Germany, presented “Environmental Science Programmes at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen”. The foci were the bachelor programme Environmental Sciences and the international master programme Applied and Environmental Geoscience. They both primarily rely on educating fundamental sciences. Curricula were presented in detail.

Research, “Renewable Sources, Environment, Blue Growth, and Energy” in the same university, presented the state of the art in higher education of Environmental Chemistry across all of Italy. There, Environmental Chemistry is mandatory in higher education programmes in the field of environmental sciences and technologies. Furthermore, the demand in the field of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage has been presented. The following second sub-session was dedicated to new teaching and learning tools. Here, Dr. Patrik Andersson, a professor of Environmental Chemistry, at the Chemistry Department, Umeå University, Sweden, presented his own and his colleagues’ experiences in “Using problem-based learning and case studies in teaching
