The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) and NADEL-Center for Development and Cooperation at ETH Zürich will host the “Natural Resource Governance and Energy Transition: Policies and Practice” course online. 
 
This advanced-​​​level multi-​​​stakeholder course is open to exceptional individuals from government, civil society, parliaments, media, international development agencies, and the private sector, as well as academics, researchers, and analysts. 
 
The course will equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to contribute towards better governance and oversight of natural resources for a better future, particularly considering the energy transition and its impact on the extractives sector. The advanced course will provide a platform to further analyze the political economy of governance in resource-rich states and explore how it impacts domestic policy debates and practice. In light of the global imperative of a transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, these skills are paramount to leaders in natural resource governance who need to manage the challenges that come with it and understand the impact of politics and power on policy outcomes.  


Course duration: 24 April – 23 June 2023 

Live instruction weeks: weeks of 24 April, 12 June, and 19 June 2023

Women and gender diverse candidates are particularly encouraged to apply. A restricted number of exceptions from this list may be made for outstanding applicants from other countries.
