Program Structure, Travel & Time Commitment

​

The Global Export Controls Program (GECP) 2027 is a year-long professional development program combining intensive in-person workshops with ongoing research, project work, peer collaboration, and practical learning activities throughout the year.

Designed similarly to a university-level executive education program, GECP requires active participation and a genuine commitment to learning, collaboration, and professional development.

​

Mandatory Workshop Schedule

Successful applicants must attend all four mandatory workshops:

• Workshop 1: Late February 2027 (2 days)

• Workshop 2: Mid-May 2027 (2 days)

• Workshop 3: Late August 2027 (2 days)

• Workshop 4: Mid-November 2027 (2 days)

Total workshop commitment: 8 full workshop days across 2027.

Workshop sessions will typically run from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day, with final dates and locations confirmed to successful applicants.

​

Travel Requirements

Participants should anticipate travelling to the workshop location the day before each workshop commences.

To support participation, ECAG will fund:

• Return economy airfares from major Australian cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney)

• Two nights' accommodation for each workshop

• Workshop catering and program materials

Additional travel arrangements will be provided to successful participants closer to each event.

​

Between-Workshop Learning & Project Work

GECP is not a stand-alone workshop series. Participants will be expected to undertake meaningful work between workshops, including:

• Individual research and reading

• Applied project work

• Group collaboration activities

• Workshop preparation tasks

• Reflection and professional development exercises

• Cohort discussions and knowledge-sharing activities

Participants should expect to dedicate regular time between workshops to complete program requirements and contribute to the cohort learning experience.

​

Essential Commitment Requirement

GECP 2027 is fully funded by the Export Controls Australia Group (ECAG). There are no participation fees for successful applicants.

As places are limited and substantial resources are invested in each participant, full commitment is an essential condition of participation. Successful applicants are expected to:

• Attend all four workshops in full

• Travel as required

• Complete all research, project, and preparation activities

• Actively participate in group discussions and collaborative exercises

• Remain engaged throughout the entire program year

Applicants should only apply if they can commit to the full program schedule and have the support of their employer to participate in all mandatory activities.
