MEEC Initiative Stakeholders
Like the Internet2, this is MAGEEP 2 in that we will offer wide and true multidisciplinary multinational collaboration, the co-creation and use of information (knowledge). We need to bring into this discussion all types of stakeholders
Regional
Sectorial
Demand and supply sides
Government
Industry
Academia
NGO
Societal Benefit Area
We need "champions" for each line of action
Water Quality
Air Quality
Energy
Other Environment
Sustainability
Health and Aging
MEEC Activities
Issues of entrepreneurship, citizenship, corporate responsibility and other skills should be interwoven into our "curriculum"
Courses
Issues re. Courses: Language of instruction; Re-use of courses
Use Cases (Examples)
- a. Energy economics
- b. Waste/brackish water use
- c. Clean industry
- d. Irrigation and agriculture
- e. Livable cities
- f. Air Pollution in India
Programs??
Online discussions forums
Student mobilities
Events
General management and finances
Dissemination and promotion activities
Etc…
MEEC Governance Models
We need to identify a management/governance model
Central management by Wustl
Partially distributed to partners
Synergy for added-value to all
Guiding principles
In the spirit of Globalization each partner should maintain its own unique "flavor" while building a common international posture for the collective. UN, UNESCO and others should be brought in as warranted. Examples:
- IDC is installing a UNESCO Chair in Sustainability later this month
- Do we have other relevant UNESCO chairs within MAGEEP
= MEEC Support and Sustainability
Funding proposals can be generated to significant and relevant competitive and other sources, such as the European Commission, the Ford Foundation, etc…

How does this initiative help us to strengthen our three core institutional foci:
a. Research
i. We are developing with this idea a global collaborator
1. With it we will share and co-develop knowledge
b. Education
i. We are basically developing a joint online university
1. We will have courses, perhaps whole programs (degree and otherwise)
c. Service
i. We can bring our students together for joint community work
ii. The knowledge repository we are developing will serve the global community
1. That said, perhaps not all content will be open or free to all, given IPR, ongoing research and secrecy restraints.
6
We should consider tools to be adopted by MAGEEP to facilitate our remote work
a. The wiki model is good
b. Moodle should be considered also for course management
i. We should use open software platforms
7
We need success measures
a. Courses offered
i. Online
ii. F2F
iii. blended
1. Amount
2. Amount of participations
3. Revenue generated
b. Mobilities
i. Students
ii. Faculty
iii. Administration
c. Programs designed
i. For degree students
1. The 2Tor platform or other can be explored
ii. For non-degree students (e.g. MOOCs)
1. We can target our alumni and the wider public (life-long learning)
2. We should consider a strategic agreements with Coursera, EdX, Udacity or other; these are brands attracting MANY students
3. We should also explore the use of TEDx-type mini lectures for our MAGEEP YouTube Channel
d. Repositories developed
i. Digital learning objects
1. List of MAGEEP partner courses
ii. Bios of MAGEEP faculty
1. A MAGEEP competencies database
iii. Datasets and Best Practices
iv. MAGEEP scholarly output (e.g. articles, reports, patents, conference presentations)
1. Population of information
2. Updating of information
3. Use of information
4. Downloads

Education initiative particulars
a. We should endeavor to bring our students together technology-facilitated and f2f encounters in peer-learning, problem-based and project-based learning models
b. We need to link our information dissemination efforts to LinkedIn, FaceBook, YouTube, Twitter, iTunes and more
9) Dissemination
a. We need to think of additional channels to disseminate our findings in order to strengthen our collective impact
i. Davos
ii. UN, OECD,
iii. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Energy_organizations
iv. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=water+organizations&fulltext=Search
