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.
