CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS – LEAP SEA

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS – LEAP SEA

Learn significant knowledge on leadership and management of higher education. Let individual learning and experiences flow from one expert to another.

Take the big LEAP!

SEARCA, in cooperation with the SEAMEO Regional Center for Tropical Biology (BIOTROP) and Asian Institute of Management (AIM), invites applicants for limited training grants (on a competitive basis) to participate in the second offering of “Leadership Excellence in Academe Program for Southeast Asia (LEAP SEA).”

Applications are open to senior and mid-level executives of higher education institutions (HEIs) in SEAMEO member countries -- especially those in agriculture, forestry, or environmental studies. LEAP SEA will accept 20-25 higher education leaders, particularly those in their first year or first term of administration of tertiary and post-graduate academic institutions.

The program runs for 12 weeks, commencing with a six-day forum to be held on 19-24 July 2010 in Bogor, Indonesia. Applicants should submit a concept note of the case story concerning HEI administration and management that they intend to undertake. This will later be developed into a publication of LEAP SEA cases as knowledge and learning resources appropriate for Southeast Asia.

Aside from the training grants, LEAP SEA is open to fee-based participants. Course fee amounts to US$600 per participant for live-in rate excluding airfare and US$500 for live-out rate. Please see attached course flyer and application form. Accomplished application forms should be submitted by 30 June 2010.
