Call for Applicatio​ns: CAS in Management of Developmen​t Projects, EPFL Switzerlan​d

[Kuldeep Singh]

EPFL Switzerland is calling for applications for the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Management of Development Projects (MaDePro). The interactive course is based on the North-South scientific partnership. It gives participants an opportunity to improve their knowledge in such aspects as Development, Technology and Project Management directly linked to the reality and actual experience of the field in such a “heterogeneous” country as India where poverty co-exists alongside vast scientific expertise and local know-how. The training provides a chance to share the different standpoints and experiences of Europe and Asia. The programme uses a wide range of tools including: e-Learning, lectures, field trips, case studies, group work, individual project, etc.
 
The course is structured in three parts, all which are compulsory. Part I (03 October 2011-19 February 2012) involves 19 weeks of e-Learning covering such aspects as: International Environment, Sustainable Development, Main Development Issues, Technology for Development, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Project Management. Part 2 (27 February 2012-11 March 2012), is full time, lasts 2 weeks and will be held in India and will mainly focus on field activities. Part 3 (12 March-06 May 2012), consists of a personal project.

 

Full and/or partial grants may be offered to participants that are not able to meet the total costs involved. Priority will be given to participants from developing or emerging countries. For more information please visit
