The Berkeley Institute for the Environment |
| Description: | The University of California at Berkeley has long been a leading environmental research center, with some 100 individual undergraduate and graduate programs with foci in the environment, in addition to dozens of top research centers. The Berkeley Institute of the Environment (BIE), established in 2005, brings together and helps enhance these diverse campus programs and research units in new and innovative ways. The Institute's goals are to address complex environmental problems by: * Making research tools and understanding accessible across disciplinary lines; * Fostering collaboration and new ways of thinking about critical environmental problems across disciplines; and * Training a new generation of environmental researchers, citizens and professionals. |
