THE PETER CULLEN WATER & ENVIRONMENT TRUST PROGRAM

Application Deadline: 17 November 2024

LOCATION: Australia

The Peter Cullen Water & Environment Trust invites applications from people who are actively involved in water and environmental science, systems, advocacy, policy or management, to participate in our unique Leadership Program.

ELIGIBILITY:

Individuals working in the science, systems, advocacy, policy or management of water and the environment who are passionate about working with others to make a real difference in how our precious natural resources are managed, sustainably and equitably.

Demonstrated success in their current field of endeavour is important, but critical is the potential to take on or enhance their leadership role in the future.

Previous participants have been intentionally drawn from diverse backgrounds: whether a rural, regional or urban context; dealing with rivers, catchments, estuarine environments or groundwater; and engaged with, variously, water authorities, community groups, research, irrigation, non-government organisations, industry, consultants, government agencies and more.

The breadth of experience and the varied perspectives are an integral part of the development and learning opportunity. For those with the appetite and commitment, there will be the reward of the learning and bonds that come from confronting and conquering a challenge in company with a motivated cohort.

BENEFIT:

The Peter Cullen Trust offers a small number of scholarships to support outstanding individuals who would otherwise be unable to participate in a PCT Leadership Program.  For more information, go to our Scholarships page.
