Educational and Training Plans

Participants of the proposed UNM Resilience Institute plan to develop graduate courses that will enable educating graduate students from different backgrounds: engineering, science, law, geography, and economics on resilience theory and applications. Many of the participating faculty also plan, in the next step, to develop certificate programs and bring an NRT program to fund graduate students. The wide spectrum of resilience research enables it as an excellent integrative field where UNM research and teaching capabilities and excellence can be integrated. The Institute also plans to conduct an annual Resilience Colloquium to be held annually at UNM with invitations to researchers and government agencies nationwide and internationally. This annual event will enable UNM Resilience Institute and its partners to build an excellent network on resilience and to stay up-to-date on research and development on resilience. The Institute will also engage with New Mexico government agencies in providing necessary training in the field of resilience.
