The common GoverNat training programme includes
- (a) schools,
- (b) workshops,
- (c) courses on complementary skills,
- (d) a conference, and
- (e) virtual seminars.
All of these are obligatory to all fellows, who contribute largely to their thematic organisation. Schools complement local training of fellows by offering an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental governance. Three schools each lasting a week will be organised. Partners contribute to these schools according to their competences. The school proceedings will generate a curriculum on environmental governance as a major product of GoverNat. Workshops focusing on interdisciplinary and intersectorial activities and complementary skills take place in conjunction with the schools. Praxis partners participate in the workshops. Courses on complementary skills focus on interdisciplinary and intersectorial skills of fellows and are organised in conjunction with the workshops. The conference will present GoverNat's results to the scientific community, decision-makers and other stakeholders involved in environmental governance. A virtual seminar involving all partners is organised (a) to assist preparation of the second and third school and, (b) to discuss bi-monthly papers jointly authored by doctoral fellows and experienced fellows or researchers during the seminar phase.
