About the Institute
The University of California at Berkeley has long been a leading environmental research center, with some 300 faculty, dozens of research centers, and thousands of students with research interests in the environment. The Berkeley Institute of the Environment (BIE) 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 through: |
|
Faculty Roundtables and Working Groups: Fostering collaboration and new ways of thinking about critical environmental problems across disciplines Research Programs: Applying the most promising real world environmental solutions through demonstration projects, locally and around the world Student Programs: Training a new generation of environmental researchers, citizens and professionals |
|
| Through its initiatives BIE seeks to leverage the collective resources at UC Berkeley to strengthen and expand environmental theory and understanding, and to foster and scale up innovative solutions to some of the planet's most pressing environmental challenges. | |
