Pilot Workshop Scheduled on Adopting, Applying and Operating ESTs in Dresden

UNEP IETC, in cooperation with the Centre for International Postgraduate Studies in Environmental Management at the Dresden University of Technology, is preparing a pilot training programme on adoption, application and operation of Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs). The progamme will be implemented during a pilot workshop (2-10 September 1996) at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany. Using a training needs assessment, UNEP IETC has identified which substantive issues should be covered in the training, and the results of the assessment will be published as part of a new IETC Report Series.

Training Content:
The training will be designed to combine proactive sessions, exercises and small-group work, including site visits, that address the following key issues: - Requirements for adopting, applying, operating ESTs; - Contributions of ESTs to the sustainable development of large cities and freshwater resources; - Potential environmental impacts of technological solutions and innovations; - Design and implementation of regional/national training events for local managers from the private and public sectors on adopting, applying and operating ESTs.

Target Audience:
The training programme is mainly targeted at government, civil-society, and industry decision-makers from developing and transition countries working in the area of technology implementation/regulation and those with responsibilities that involve environmental issues. A limited number of senior to mid-level managers of (environmental) training centres will also be targeted in order that they may facilitate the implementation of future regional and/or national training events.

Applications (no more effective):
The Dresden pilot training programme will be conducted in English. Application forms can be requested directly from IETC's Osaka office or from Dresden University of Technology, Centre for International Postgraduate Studies in Environmental Management, attn. Doz.
