מרכז ויץ לפיתוח בר קיימא מנהל מידי שנה מספר קורסים בינלאומיים בנושאים הקשורים לפיתוח בר קיימא. הקורסים ממומנים ע"י הסוכנות הלאומית לסיוע ושיתוף פעולה בינלאומי (מש"ב) של משרד החוץ ונערכים במרכז ויץ ברחובות. הקורסים פתוחים לאנשי מקצוע ממדינות מתפתחות ומדינות במעבר, אשר מבקשים ללמוד כיצד למנף נכסים מקומיים לפיתוח אסטרטגי. מתודולוגיית ההוראה שלנו נובעת מההבנה שלכל מקום, ללא קשר למצבו העכשווי, יש נכסים אשר יכולים לתרום לפיתוח בר קיימא. להעצמת אנשים פרטיים וקהילות יש תפקיד מכריע בתהליך הפיתוח. במהלך הקורסים בני כ- 25 יום, המשתתפים עסוקים בחוויית למידה אינטנסיבית ונהנים מניסיונם העשיר של מומחים ישראליים, חברות מובילות בתעשייה ומחבריהם לקורס באמצעות הרצאות, ביקורים באתרים שונים והפעלות אינטראקטיביות. כל הנושאים הנלמדים נבחנים באמצעות גישה אינטרדיסציפלינרית, המגשרת בין אנשי מקצוע ובעלי עניין מהמגזר הציבורי, הפרטי והשלישי על מנת ליצור חוויה כוללנית וייחודית.
אנו גאים בכך שיותר מ-5,000 אנשי מקצוע השתתפו בקורסי מש"ב במהלך השנים. המרכז מתמקד בעידוד וחיזוק המשתתפים לשיפור היכולות שלהם למען פיתוח כלכלי מקומי.

Clean Technologies - Environmental technology, innovation and management systems as a means for regional and local economic development
Clean Technology is commonly defined as a diverse range of products, services, and processes that harness renewable materials and energy sources, dramatically reduce the use of natural resources, and cut or eliminate emissions and wastes. Clean Technology includes a wide variety of environmental, social and economic activities predominantly comprising the fields of: clean production including green chemistry, resource efficiency including energy efficiency, renewable energy, information technology, green transportation, sustainable water technologies and green building. The program provided participants with knowledge and tools from the Israeli experience in clean-tech, learn from startups and companies in water technologies, energy technologies, waste management, recycling and waste to energy programs. Addressing the Urbanization Challenge
Cities are currently home to majority of the world's population. Over the next 30 years most of the two-billion-plus person increase in global population is expected to occur in urban areas in the developing world. If well managed, cities offer opportunities for economic and social development. Cities have always been focal points for economic growth, innovation, and employment. Cities are also centers of modern living, where indicators of general health and well being, literacy, women's status, and social mobility are typically highest. While cities command an increasingly dominant role in the global economy, rapid urban growth throughout the developing world is seriously outstripping the capacity of most cities to provide adequate services for their citizens. Of particular concern are the risks to the immediate and surrounding environment, to natural resources, to health conditions, to social cohesion, and to individual rights. For many observers, however, the greatest concern is surely the massive increase in the numbers of the urban poor. Israel, one of the most urbanized countries in the world, has gained extensive experience in both the revitalization of poor urban areas and the integration of immigrant social groups from various backgrounds and origins. Urban Water Technologies and Management Innovating in urban water management can be both, technical such as ICT and water infrastructure, and non-technical, such as in management and planning approaches. Innovative water managements can be seen as a combination between technologies, innovative business models for the service providers and innovative governance. The international training on Urban Water Technologies and Management–is designed to empower participants to develop a comprehensive approach to urban water management – one that includes both innovative leading technologies and innovative management tools. Israel is a small, densely populated country with few natural resources, especially water. As such, Israel developed novel technologies for conservation, resource management and implementation mechanisms. Israel's climate is mainly dry and with reoccurring droughts has over the years faced these challenges. Since its founding, limited precipitation, a difficult desert climate, water waste, lacking infrastructure and a growing population have negatively affected the water management. With the joint effort of the Israeli government, scientists and companies, Israel has managed to develop cutting-edge solutions. From seawater desalination to water conservation, water recycling, wastewater treatment and water purification – Israel has become a leader in the development of innovative water technologies. Green Growth: Policy and economic measures as tools for local and regional sustainable development
Green growth is the new revolutionary development paradigm that sustains economic growth while at the same time ensuring climatic and environmental sustainability. The international training Green Growth: Policy and economic measures as tools for local and regional sustainable development is designed to expose participants to new policies and economic tools reflecting costs and benefits of environmental and social impacts, necessary strategies for achieving sustainable consumption and production, measures for climate change mitigation, adaptation and energy independence, and the creation of new engines for economic growth. Participants of the programs were exposed to professional content regarding the conceptual transition to Green Growth, Sustainable consumption and production & resource efficiency, Environmental policy and regulations in Israel, the Israeli Water sector and water innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility, Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, Green growth-related entrepreneurship: startups and innovative technologies. |
