The E7 Sustainable Energy Development Scholarship Programme

Students from developing countries and economies in transition who plan to undertake studies at the Masters level or Post-Doctoral level in areas directly related to sustainable energy development are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Aldo Leopold Leadership Program

The Aldo Leopold Leadership Program provides communication and leadership training to academic environmental scientists and facilitates collaboration and networking among scientists and a broad range of decision-makers. The program's mission is to help scientists develop effective outreach skills and to collaborate across disciplines and sectors to:

Advance scientific understanding as decision-makers confront increasingly complex environmental issues.
Enhance and solidify the links between research and policy, and between scientists and non-scientists.
Increase the involvement and visibility of academic scientists in public outreach.
Promote changes in academic culture so that scientists are encouraged to share their scientific knowledge beyond the academic walls and scientific journals.

Through a competitive application process, each year up to 20 mid-career academic environmental scientists in North America (Canada, Mexico, the United States) are selected as Leopold Leadership Fellows to participate in two intensive week-long training sessions that include modules on effective communication with policy makers, the media, industry, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Leopold Leadership Fellows are expected to use their training to enhance their professional activities both within the scientific community and outside of it, and to incorporate components of the training into their undergraduate and graduate courses and other outreach activities.
