International Executive Learning

Helping Cities Thrive in Times of Crisis

Cities are engines of growth; but how do we ensure they function effectively? What will a viable, attractive and sustainable metropolis look like? Find solutions and answers in the executive programme at IHS.

There are still places available in the series of executive courses that the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies has developed for managers and decision makers. The 5-10 day learning events prepares you for the city of the future, their challenges and opportunities in a globalizing world. Participation puts you in contact with leading international practitioners, offering the latest thinking and best practices on urban strategies.

In 2010 IHS offers two executive courses:
17-21  May    Cost-Benefit Analysis of EU Co-financed Projects
10-18 June    Preparing Bankable Public Private Partnership Projects

Cost-Benefit Analysis of EU Co-financed Projects (CBA)
In cooperation with IHS Romania.
Course date: 17-21 May 2010

The preparation of a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is one of the most important requirements for all investment projects eligible for European Union (EU) funds. This course offers the skills needed to conduct a CBA. It applies the EU funding gap method to assess the economic and financial costs and benefits.

Preparing Bankable Public Private Partnership Projects (PPP)
In co-operation with RebelGroup Advisory.
Course date: 10-18 June 2010

For local governments worldwide, the challenge is ensuring infrastructure and services are provided to citizens in the appropriate quantity and quality. Knowing how to leverage expertise and finance for investment in infrastructure and services is essential. Participants learn how to prepare, analyze and discuss different key elements in the preparation of PPP Projects.
