This event was co-sponsored by the Universidad San Francisco de Quito and tailored to USFQ faculty.

Most global leaders have little professional background in science and remain inactive about the ramifications of critical societal challenges, such as climate change, environmental hazards and living sustainably. This course was designed to provide leadership training and important skills for faculty scientists to effectively communicate science to an increasingly global solution space.

A full agenda can be seen here.
