FOUR PILLARS OF THE INSTITUTE
The IIES annual workshops typically focus around four general themes. The themes, however, are not all-inclusive, therefore people working in other areas are always welcome.

Under this theme, we focus on the relationships between people and their environment, promotion of human health and well-being, and maintaining healthy and safe communities.
ENVIRONMENTAL Policy
Under this theme, we focus on the commitment of organizations and government to the laws, regulations, and other policy mechanisms concerning environmental issues.
ENVIRONMENTAL Processes
Under this theme, we focus on processes related to the interaction of natural resources with humans and their environment.
GREEN & NOVEL TECHNOLOGY
