ClusterEnvironment, Infrastructure & Architecture Participants can use this programme as an experimental, collaborative space for exploring solutions to real-life problems while accessing a broad range of methodologies for complex decision making. Programme structureProgramme descriptionThe CAS ETH CDM builds the capacity of participants for complex decision making, especially related to sustainability and engaging with climate risks. Systems and design thinking concepts and methods are integrated from environmental science perspective. In small groups, participants engage with a real–world problem of their own choosing. Participants can expect to collaborate with peers, who possess a diverse range of expertise and perspectives, while being coached by ETH faculty. ObjectivesThe CAS programme provides a diverse base of knowledge for problem framing and collaborative problem solving to provide participants with concepts and tools ready to be tested. Participants’ feedback in implementing these approaches will be re–adapted into the programme and the development of academic concepts. This provides a means by which knowledge can be co–created between industry, government and academic sectors. Professional perspectivesGraduates of the CAS are able to lead complex projects affected by environmental uncertainties. Potential future employers can include:
