The IIES facilitates international collaboration between research scientists, policy experts, associated postdoctoral fellows, and students.
The International Institute for Environmental Studies (IIES) has grown out of international collaborations among a number of universities around the globe that have leading programs in environmental science, engineering and policy.
As a global leader in environmental research, the Institute facilitates the exchange of information, ideas, research needs and results among member institutions, governmental members, and industry partners of the Institute. Through a variety of annual public events, the Institute works to transfer the outcomes of the research of its members to its governmental and industrial partners and to the public at large.
