WaterLeadership, a program offered by the Water Institute, develops global water leaders by focusing on skills, knowledge and networks that move research into action and support informed decision-making. The training sessions cover a range of topics designed around three “pillars” of learning:
- Knowledge mobilization and strategic planning skills: Learn how knowledge mobilization strategies and tools can increase the credibility, salience and legitimacy of your work, thereby accelerating the advancement and impact of water research.
- Research communication: Develop techniques for powerful communication that connect and resonate with targeted academic and non-academic audiences. Boost your career with these highly transferable skills in clear writing, engaging presentations, and key message development.
- Innovation and leadership in the water sector: Apply your technical and personal skills to inspire and facilitate innovation solutions to address complex water challenges.
Upon successful completion of the four modules and corresponding assignments, a certificate of completion from the Water Institute will be issued.
