Program Overview
Sustainable Development is a new program introduced in 2020. Ideal for pioneering Next Gen leaders looking to sustain and develop our growing planet, you’ll learn how to become a true leader in your field, whether in academia, civil society, or industry.
Sustainable development is the defining challenge of our time. Meeting that ongoing challenge will require innovative ways to provide the global population with an environmentally sustainable and equitable supply of energy, water, and food. In turn, this will help improve health, livelihoods, and well-being, especially for low-income communities in developing countries.
As a student in this program, expect to take an active role in developing and field-testing practical and innovative solutions to crucial development challenges. These solutions will combine technological, cultural, psychological, and economic-behavioral dimensions.
One of the program’s fascinating key elements is its engagement with Israel’s renowned technological innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, and its own development experience.
