The University of Oregon Institute for a Sustainable Environment is a center for special, collaborative, and applied research projects. The institute's activities aim to produce information that can help resolve complex problems and enable people to sustain the economies and environmental systems that support their communities.
Institute for a Sustainable Environment projects assist regions and communities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and around the world. The projects are initiated by faculty and funded by foundations and agencies outside the university. The institute does not have any instructional programs and only employs faculty, students, and visiting scholars.

Introduction
This well-established and popular MSc programme is offered by the Centre for the study of Environmental Change and Sustainability (CECS) , which began operating in 1997. The programme is designed both for students whose primary interest is in the application of science and engineering to environmental problems and also to students interested in the human ecological and socio-economic aspects of sustainability. Its wide-ranging, interdisciplinary approach to sustainability issues reflects that of the Centre itself. The aims of the Centre are to promote research and teaching in the areas of environmental change and sustainability, by working across traditional disciplinary boundaries, both within and outside the University. It is part of the School of GeoSciences, which has ninety academic staff working in ecology, environmental science, geography, geology and meteorology. The Centre also works in partnership with the Scottish Agricultural College , academic units from the University's College of Humanities and Social Science, and with external organisations, bringing together expertise in a wide range of disciplines to deliver the MSc programme. The Centre's facilities (including the

Overview
The Centre for the study of Environmental Change and Sustainability (CECS) was established in 1997 to promote interdisciplinary environmental research within the University of Edinburgh, by bringing together researchers from different departments to address key environmental issues. It facilitates new research initiatives into environmental areas of emerging importance, drawing on expertise in economics and sociology as well as science and engineering. Strategic direction of the Centre is provided by an Advisory Board drawn largely from organisations outside the University. The Centre occupies the newly-refurbished John Muir Building, situated at the heart of the University's science campus, The King's Buildings. The building houses the Waddington Environment Library , and has seminar and meeting rooms, a coffee-lounge and staff offices. The library contains an extensive collection of over 2000 environmental books together with computers for accessing library catalogues and the internet. The building has been refurbished to high environmental standard, incorporating a number of energy saving features.
Activities
The Centre operates by:
  • Stimulating new research initiatives in areas of growing environmental importance such as waste management, soil remediation, sustainable urban development, public perception, risk analysis, environmental impacts and environmental knowledge management including geographical information systems, artificial intelligence and modelling.

"Maser makes a compelling case for the importance of maintaining Nature's processes, which ultimately sustain the quality of our life." R.S. Whaley , Ph. D., President

"I am very impressed by the contribution you have made to Oregon's natural environment and our collective quality of life." John A. Kitzhaber , M.D.
Governor, State of Oregon
"As you state 'there is a need for integrating science and social values in a way that can bring humanity closer to the prospect of social-environmental sustainability.' In 1953, I did field work with Margaret Mead in Papua New Guinea. She stated that it should never be said that one person cannot make an important difference. It was something like that. I feel your work will make a profound difference. You integrate the need to hear the voices of children. As a mother and grandmother, I am particularly sensitive to the needs of children. Chris you are doing wonderful work." Lenora Foerstel
Emeritus Professor of Art and Anthropology
Maryland Institute College of Art
I know your time is valuable. I will therefore make your visit as expeditious and productive as possible.

A Web-based Distance Education Course that may be taken from anywhere in the world
This course may be taken by anyone, anywhere, the only requirements being access to the web and proficiency in the English language. Ideal for those seeking professional advancement in their respective fields. Course coordinators are available via email, fax, "snail-mail" and telephone. Course materials and participation can be accessed anytime, anyplace, meaning that you can read the materials and post messages when it is convenient to you. This web-based distance education course highlights more than 25 years of international discussion, debate and ideas, with regard to the state of the environment and our actions towards it. Key considerations and voices are included, from both North and South. This unusual and challenging course avoids the usual categorizations, and instead examines in a cross-cutting approach the environmental and social issues that effect our lives. Students become part of an "international learning community", by participating in on-line closed discussion. The emphasis is on presenting an international range of perspectives and case studies, linking the issues and ideas to up-to-the-moment occurrences as they effect students, when they happen and wherever they are. Arguably, on-line learning is particularly appropriate to an environmental issues course.

This cluster creates a bridge between the scientific approach to analyzing and solving environmental problems, the socioeconomic concerns involved in formulating and administering environmental policy, and the historic and philosophical basis of humanity's relationship to ecosystems. With the common goal of defining, characterizing and understanding environmental sustainability, the cluster identifies how each participating discipline can creatively contribute and thus, enable students to direct their own courses of study toward this end.

This is through the: (1) evolution and refinement of the legislative, institutional, and regulatory framework; (2) use of market-based mechanisms and adoption of environmentally sustainable technologies to encourage private sector participation in environmental protection as well as greater community alliance in the formulation and implementation of local level initiatives; and (3) establishment of a more effective system of environmental governance and delivery of environmental services, including monitoring and enforcement. The portfolio supports two main outcomes: Strengthened, rationalized and effectively implemented environment and natural resources policies, frameworks and plans.
