Members of the Network on Environment
The IDEA League Excellence Clusters on Environment teamed up with additional partners and developed into the Climate KIC of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Look here for a summary
of the KIC.
Imperial College
Researchers working across the spectrum of climate change research are brought together by Imperial's Grantham Institute for Climate Change launched in 2007. The Institute focuses on providing solutions to the healthcare, environmental and engineering challenges caused by climate change with the aim of having a concrete influence on international policy makers.
TU Delft
The Delft Research Centre Sustainable Urban Areas brings together research of the built environment: urban planning, the housing market, social cohesion in neighbourhoods and sustainable building. Goal: to make urban areas more sustainable and improve the quality of life of the people living there.
ETH Zurich
The new institute of Environmental Decisions, part of the Energy Science Center and formed in conjunction with the Department of Environment Sciences, intends to further improve the integration of the humanities and social sciences. New Masters programs in Earth Sciences, Atmosphere and Climate Science and Applied Geophysics (in conjunction with IDEA League partner universities) have been introduced.
RWTH Aachen
Geosciences and
Materials Technology constitute an independent faculty of RWTH
Aachen University; its work focuses systematically on resource-efficient
materials flow at every stage from raw materials extraction to
recycling. Activities of over 60 research teams are bundled in the Forum for Environment.
ParisTech
Environment is a cross-disciplinary domain at ParisTech. Besides the main energy and automotive companies, the industrial collaborations of the ParisTech labs in this field range from public transportation. ParisTech also benefits from a close research partnership in this field with the French national institute for agronomy research (INRA).
