Warm greetings from UNU-IAS ProSPER.Net Secretariat!

On behalf of the Higher Education Leadership Academy and the ProSPER.Net Secretariat at the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), we would like to invite your institution to nominate participants for the 2014 ProSPER.Net Leadership Programme, to be held at the Higher Education Leadership Academy in Malaysia from 16 to 24 August 2014.

The Leadership Programme provides opportunities for participants to develop inter-disciplinary skills to lead sustainable development initiatives appropriate to local, regional or global contexts. Through ‘Enhancing Leadership and Connectivism for Sustainability Development’, the tentative programme outlines the ways in which participants will have an opportunity to gain skills in communication and consensual decision-making processes, gain competencies in adaptive leadership, enhance critical and systems thinking abilities and learn project planning, implementation, management and assessment through problem-based learning cases in the community. For details, please find attached the invitation letter, tentative programme and application form.

Resources have been committed to provide fellowships for selected participants, who will benefit from exposure to a wide range of expertise from the Higher Education Leadership Academy and ProSPER.Net community. However, we would also like to encourage all members and partners to consider supporting the participation of applicants from your institution that will entail air travel only. The local costs will be borne by the Higher Education Leadership Academy.

Please send applications and advice on your level of support for nominated participants by 30 May 2014 to: prospernet.LP@ias.unu.edu

We look forward to receiving applications from prospective participants!

With best regards,

ProSPER.Net Secretariat
