Opportunity for Environmental Leaders
of the Developing World
We offer an intensive program in sustainable ecosystem management,
to provide mastery of critical concepts, relevant tools and transferable
processes necessary for successfully managing ecosystems. The 3.5
month curriculum is designed for environmental leaders from non-governmental
organizations, governments and university faculties throughout the
developing world. The Watson International Scholars of the Environment
are regarded as active participants, not as passive students. Instruction
focuses upon relevant case studies of environmental problem-solving
-- instances of success and failure from throughout the international
arena are carefully diagnosed. The opportunity for participants
entails increased levels of effectiveness, informing sound decision-making
by enhancing abilities to rapidly integrate data from across disciplines.
Our investment in these leaders is strategic: We admit men and women
capable of creating lasting, and immediately favorable impacts on
the sustainable development of their home institutions, eco-regions
and nations. Accordingly, participants are expected to be at a mid-point
within their careers in environmental science, policy and technology
fields. We are most interested in attracting individuals who want
to forge new linkages among ideas and issues, to develop networks
among leaders facing similar issues and to explore alliances with
relevant colleagues and institutions for improved personal and institutional
effectiveness.
