Science & Policy for Environmental Action

22.06.2026 – 26.06.2026

The course is designed for early-career researchers (minimum PhD candidates), with exceptional Master’s students considered on a case-by-case basis, as well as policy professionals from international organisations, diplomatic missions, and public agencies, and practitioners from NGOs, civil society, media, and the private sector engaged in science–policy work.

Amid growing environmental challenges—from climate change to biodiversity loss—effective collaboration between scientists and policy actors is essential. This intensive course equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and networks needed to navigate the science–policy interface and contribute to evidence-informed decision-making. Set in International Geneva, home to the UN, NGOs, and key global institutions, the programme offers unique access to experts and practitioners shaping international environmental governance.

Through a mix of conceptual sessions, interactive workshops, and field visits, participants will explore models of environmental governance, learn practical knowledge translation and engagement skills, strengthen leadership capacities, and expand their professional networks. The course is equivalent to 3 ECTS and offers a Certificate of Completion, with the option to earn academic credit through a written assignment.
