About applying for the Harvard Summer Course, and who we are looking for.

While we cannot deal with individual applications in this public forum, I would like to mention that our main goal in accepting candidates for the Harvard Summer course listed below is their ability to help build capacity in this field in their region. We are looking for candidates from areas where we have had few previous trainees, where there is need for this expertise, and, of course, the candidates need to be technically qualified to benefit from the training and, in turn, by their position, able to influence building design and engineering in their area. We also accept candidates from low-burden settings and believe that the course has benefited from the dynamic interaction among the students. Most of the students stay in very nice nearby dormitories and develop close professional ties over the 2 week course. Finally, although we have been able to offer some scholarship help over the past 4 years, that all depends on the generosity of funders who we have solicited for funds. Candidates are in a stronger position if they can find at least partial sponsorship from their organization or other benefactors.

Thank you Anna
I am not sure this is the right forum for such information but the UIPC website (shown below) has all the courses outlined and we cater for all levels of IPC staff. Do communicate with me directly and we can see how we could help.
