Two University of Quebec institutions have joined forces to offer graduate coursework in public administration and scientific analysis.
The École nationale d’administration publique (ENAP) and the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) have announced a new joint training opportunity with their short graduate program in impact assessment and sustainable development.
Fusing natural science and managerial science, this program will train workers in public administration and the scientific sectors on major socio-environmental topics.
“This new interuniversity collaboration increases the versatility and depth of our offerings focused on contemporary issues. In the face of climate change, tomorrow’s leaders must be informed of potential risks and available solutions to promote the security of Quebec’s population.”
Philippe-Edwin Bélanger, Director of the Department of Graduate Studies and Student Success at INRS
“I am convinced that this online short program will enrich the landscape of sustainable development training in Quebec,” he says.
“This new short program meets a distinct need within government agencies and organizations, which are all concerned with the major socio-environmental issues of our time. It is both remote and part-time, and it will allow learners to obtain the necessary skills and knowledge to face these challenges practically and efficiently.”
Robert Bilterys, Director of Instruction and Research at ENAP
Mr. Bilterys also points to the unique collaboration between ENAP and INRS that led to the creation of this innovative program: “This partnership illustrates how universities can join forces to respond to society’s needs.”
