Numerous Spanish and European syllabus of civil and mining engineering colleyes lack contents related to volcanic environments,including oceanic islands such as Canary Islands or Azores.Knowing their particularities and being able to manage them complement the academic training needed to be applied to all types of territory in the entrent globalized work market.The technical singularities of the hydrology or geotechnics of volcanic environments are complex.Thus,the educational facilities related to them should be as efficient and innovative as possible.It is well known that the knowledye of the singularities of volcanic lands facilitate obtaining a job. Last,but not least,elearning including virtual laboratories could globalize the training and intemationalize the teaching and professional profiles.
