Applied Entry for Case-Based Fellowship Recognition | United States — Brazil | Fully Online
Official Notice
The Johann Christian Hasse Foundation, in collaboration with Silvio Meira Institute, hereby opens the current application cycle for the c-ECO Fellowship Program, a selective applied fellowship structured around concrete cases, sector-based analysis, controlled use of the c-ECO framework, and institutional validation.
This page functions as the live intake interface for the current cycle. The broader institutional architecture of the Program is available in the Fellowship Portal. Privacy, submission handling, and related data-governance terms are available in the Fellowship Privacy Notice.
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-001] Article 1 — Object of the Current Cycle
This current application cycle is intended to identify and evaluate a limited number of candidates for entry into the c-ECO Fellowship Program through submission of a concrete case, sectoral alignment, and a proposed scope of analytical work under the c-ECO framework.
§1. This page is not the institutional architecture page of the Program. The general structure, validity logic, standing categories, levels framework, and recognition model are set out in the Fellowship Portal.
§2. Admission through this cycle does not automatically confer title acquisition, certification, or unrestricted use of the c-ECO framework.
§3. Where applicable, recognition under the Fellowship depends on approval of the submitted case, validation of the type of work to be performed, and release of the corresponding c-ECO license within the Program structure.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-002] Article 2 — Candidate Profile
Applications are open to professionals, researchers, jurists, economists, engineers, policy specialists, sustainability practitioners, infrastructure analysts, and other qualified candidates capable of operating within high-complexity systemic environments.
§1. Preference shall be given to candidates with prior experience related to contracts, infrastructure, regulation, finance, environmental systems, mineral extraction, water systems, energy systems, or adjacent institutional fields.
§2. Candidates shall demonstrate ability to engage with applied—not merely abstract—problem environments.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-003] Article 3 — Program Structure for the Current Cycle
The c-ECO Fellowship Program shall be delivered fully online during this cycle and shall include case review, sectoral allocation, guided analytical work, and controlled institutional interaction under the applicable Fellowship conditions.
§1. The present cycle is structured as applied entry into the Fellowship, not as an open-enrollment academic course.
§2. The estimated workload for this cycle remains approximately forty (40) hours, subject to variation depending on the complexity of the approved case and the authorized type of work.
§3. Individual advisory interaction may be provided where institutionally appropriate and subject to scheduling and availability.
§4. The actual scope of work assigned to a selected candidate shall depend on the approved case environment and the applicable c-ECO use conditions.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-004] Article 4 — Sectoral Logic and Track Indication
Applicants shall indicate one primary sectoral track for purposes of review. Sector selection in this application cycle serves as an entry orientation only and does not substitute for final institutional allocation under the Fellowship structure.
Sectoral Indication
Water Systems & Hydraulic Infrastructure
Freshwater scarcity, hydrological thresholds, aquifer stress, hydraulic infrastructure, and water-system instability.
Sectoral Indication
Energy Systems
Energy-water interdependence, infrastructure resilience, reversibility liquidity, and systemic instability in power systems.
Sectoral Indication
Agriculture & Agroindustrial Systems
Soil degradation, nutrient cycles, food security, agroindustrial dependency, and productive landscape reversibility.
Sectoral Indication
Mining & Critical Minerals Extraction
Tailings risk, extraction systems, aquifer contamination, geotechnical instability, and restoration-linked legal conditioning.
Sectoral Indication
Financial Systems & Credit Institutions
Transmission of systemic environmental risk into guarantees, portfolios, credit instruments, and reversibility-linked finance.
Sectoral Indication
Artificial Intelligence & Data Infrastructure
Energy-water burdens, data center externalities, computational expansion, and digital infrastructure pressures.
Sectoral Indication
Coastal Infrastructure & Wetlands
Salinization, sea-level rise, wetland degradation, coastal adaptation, and remote-sensing-based pre-threshold monitoring.
§1. Each applicant shall indicate one primary sectoral track.
§2. Final sectoral allocation, if admission occurs, shall depend on institutional review of the concrete case and the type of work authorized.
§3. Submission of a real or proposed concrete case is strongly recommended and may be decisive for selection.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-005] Article 5 — Recognition, License, and Scope of Work
Recognition within the c-ECO Fellowship Program is not granted by application alone. It depends on institutional review of the submitted case, the nature of the analytical work to be performed, and, where applicable, release of the corresponding c-ECO license for authorized use within the Fellowship structure.
§1. Admission to the current cycle does not by itself generate title acquisition.
§2. Where the approved work is primarily diagnostic, recognition may occur within the applicable analytical scope.
§3. Where the approved work involves contractual translation, implementation-oriented structures, or broader governance design, recognition may reflect the validated scope of that work under current Fellowship conditions.
§4. In real cases, title acquisition and controlled use of the framework may depend on the release of the corresponding c-ECO license.
§5. Fellows may become eligible to submit materials for institutional review for c-ECO license and seal pathways, subject to technical sufficiency, methodological conformity, and applicable validation procedures.
§6. Recognition under the Program is time-bound, scoped, and subject to the validity and standing conditions defined in the Fellowship Portal.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-006] Article 6 — Calendar and Dates
The following dates apply to the present cycle:
I — Application period: from 1 May through 31 May
II — Final selection date: 30 June

Administrative Note
The organization reserves the right to communicate results individually, request supplementary clarifications, and publish institutional notice of selected participants after conclusion of the evaluation process.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-007] Article 7 — Selection Process and Number of Positions
Applications shall be evaluated on the basis of professional trajectory, coherence of sectoral indication, analytical capacity, relevance of the submitted case or proposed case environment, and alignment with the c-ECO applied architecture.
§1. The present cycle is selective and limited to 2 (two) positions.
§2. Submission of materials does not create any right to admission, title acquisition, or license release.
§3. The organization may decline to fill all available positions if applications do not meet the required institutional level.
§4. Selection may include case-based differentiation according to the type of work proposed, including diagnostic, contractual, or architectural/governance-oriented use.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-008] Article 8 — Intellectual Property and Submitted Materials
The c-ECO framework, its concepts, architectures, sectoral structures, and associated methodological elements remain under the control of the Johann Christian Hasse Foundation.
§1. Candidate-submitted materials shall be used exclusively for evaluation, selection, and program administration purposes.
§2. Submission of a concrete case, CV, or supporting file does not transfer ownership of candidate materials to the organization.
§3. Any future licensing, validation, or submission pathway associated with the c-ECO system shall be governed by separate terms.
[FELLOWSHIP-ART-009] Article 9 — Final Provisions
Submission of an application implies acceptance of the terms of this call for applications.
