Research events occurring across campus related to research in sustainability can be found on these sites’ calendars:

  • Institutes of Energy and the Environment (IEE)
    The IEE works to build teams of researchers from different disciplines to see how new partnerships and new ways of thinking can solve some of the world’s most difficult energy and environmental challenges. The searchable IEE database of research faculty expertise is a collaborative effort of the Institutes of Energy and the Environment (IEE) and the Sustainability Institute. It is built around the IEE’s original database of research expertise in energy and the environment, supplemented by additional faculty who self-identified their research as sustainability-related or sustainability-focused.
  • SCRiM (Sustainable Climate Risk Management)
