The 2018 edition to the postgraduate course entitled “Social-ecological Systems: Structure, Dynamics and Management” is being offered in two modes, both in-person at SARAS headquarters and online for international students delivered via Platform EVA.

After receiving 78 applications from students from very diverse fields of knowledge and countries, 25 of them were selected. This year’s group includes 15 participants from Uruguay between advanced students from the Environmental Management Degree, masters and doctoral students, as well as governmental staff. The online course is exclusively offered to 10 doctoral students from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Venezuela.

This course includes the participation of local and international guest lecturers. The classes offered by the foreign lecturers will be made available online in the form of webinars from June onwards. These will be open to the wider public.

Some of the international confirmed guest speakers include: Marten Scheffer (Wageningen University – Member of SARAS Advisory Board) Patricia Balvanera (National Autonomous University of Mexico – Member of SARAS Advisory Board) and José Paruelo (University of Buenos Aires – CONICET Argentina).
