In an effort to enhance knowledge about the links between structural transformation, industrial policy and development, the UNCTAD Virtual Institute (Vi) developed this online course for stakeholders in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The seven-week course is based on the Vi teaching material on structural transformation and industrial policy and will be held from July 8 to August 25.
The course targets academics (from universities and research centres), policymakers, and representatives of civil society in developing and countries with economies in transition involved in research, teaching, policy formulation and implementation, or field work in the area of development. Qualified women candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree in economics, international relations or political science, and have completed courses in development economics. Excellent knowledge of English, including technical terminology, is also required.
Participants with passing grades in the course will receive a certificate of completion.
Your application must include a completed application form, detailed curriculum vitae and a letter of nomination from your institution indicating its support of your application, and explaining how your participation in the course will contribute to your future work and the work of the institution.
