UKRAINE: applications open for our free Harvard course on "Advancing Sustainable Development in Ukraine". Now in its 3rd year, and housed within the Harvard Healthy Buildings Program. To date, 140 experts have graduated from the initiative, stepping into leadership roles to champion sustainable, resilient reconstruction. Rebuilding a nation while simultaneously defending it is a challenge of unprecedented scale. This two-semester, project-driven course brings together mid-tier Ukrainian practitioners with global experts to integrate human health, trauma-informed design, climate resilience, and green financing directly into Ukraine's recovery. It is a deeply interdisciplinary effort made possible through collaboration with incredible partners, including UCL’s Institute for Global Prosperity, the London School of Economics, Ukraine’s Dixi Group, and our dedicated Ukrainian alumni organizers. Applications for the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 cohort are currently open on a rolling basis through August 30. If you are a Ukrainian professional in engineering, architecture, public health, finance, or urban planning—or if you know someone who is—please share this opportunity. Learn more about the curriculum and how to apply here: healthybuildings.hsph.harvar…
