IPROMO Summer school CALL FOR APPLICATIONS Sustainable management of mountain areas Pieve Tesino
–
Ormea (Italy) 27 June – 11 July 2022 Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends, We are pleased to announce the
call for applications for the
fifteen
IPROMO Course - the training programme on sustainable mountain development - jointly organized by the Mountain Partnership Secretariat
at FAO, the University of Turin, Italy, and the University of Tuscia, Italy, with the high patronage of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The theme this year is
“Sustainable management of mountain areas” and the course will
be in person. The sustainable management of mountain areas is crucial to protect mountain ecosystems and build the resilience of communities. This has been recently confirmed
by the decision of the United Nations General Assembly to declare 2022 as the
International Year of Sustainable Mountain Development (IYM2022).The Resolution was proposed by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, and supported by 94 governments: a clear recognition of the global relevance of mountains and the services they provide
to our Planet. This year will also mark the 15th IPROMO course, as the first one took place in 2008. Since then, more than 450 people from all over the world have been trained and
shared their knowledge. In consideration of the IYM2022 and of the 15th IPROMO anniversary, the course will deal with sustainable mountain development at large rather than focusing on one
theme. This IPROMO course will run from 27 June to 11 July 2022 with two weeks of full immersion learning. It will include lectures, practical work and excursions. The course
will be held in Ormea (northwest Italy) and Pieve Tesino (northeast Italy) and will be in English.
The provisional programme is attached; the instructors are being identified and will include as always a mix of university professors, FAO officers and colleagues from regional
or international organizations dealing with sustainable mountain development. About 30 professionals will be admitted to the course and preference will be given to participants coming from countries and organizations which are members of the
Mountain Partnership.
This course is geared towards technical officers, hence applicants from the academic world will not be given priority. Participants from developing countries are encouraged to apply. The total cost of the course (inclusive of full board, accommodation, taxes, teaching equipment, internal transfers but excluding travel costs) is €3,000.
Please note that a few scholarships are available for participants from developing countries.
Excellent knowledge of English, a university degree preferably in a technical area such as agriculture, forestry, biology, geology or geography, and relevant work
experience are prerequisites. Full COVID19 vaccination is required. Those who are interested in participating can register online and upload their curriculum vitae as a Word or PDF file
here. Applications should be sent by 30 March 2022, and applicants can expect to
receive a reply by end of April 2022. Kindly share this call for applications with interested colleagues
