Wageningen International) offers a 2-weeks short course focusing on conflict
management entitled: "Competing claims on natural resources". In the underlying
philosophy of the course natural resource management equates natural resource
conflict management and I think that most of you are professionally so much
engaged in managing conflict that you may agree with this philosophy. If that is
the case this course is of interest to you, your colleagues and your wider
network. Please forward this mail and attachment (the course brochure)
accordingly.
The next “Competing Claims on Natural resources” course runs from 20th of
February to 2nd of March 2012. I know, that seems far away but please realise
that the application period for a NFP fellowship closes the 29th of April 2011
(and that is next month!)
For this course Netherlands (NFP) fellowships are available. Please note that
the application procedure from Nuffic has been
changed: http://www.nuffic.nl/
The most important changes are about eligibility: in case you have received a
NFP fellowship for a short course in 2010, you may not apply in 2011. Also,
NUFFIC allows you to benefit from a short course fellowship only two (2) times
in total. In case you are eligible (and please check above link to be sure) go
through the following steps:
