Environment Institute

hg
Environmental research is a collaborative, interdisciplinary enterprise that engages scientists with government, environmental agencies, business, the voluntary movement and the general public.

The Institute is the focal point for environmental research and related activities in UCL. Through its website it provides a single, comprehensive gateway to information about research on the environment and advanced teaching.

Our mission is to raise the public profile of UCL and awareness of its leading edge research activities.

The aim is to improve communication between those who carry out the research and those who need its findings. This will lead to a better understanding of how the environment functions, how human activities impact on it and how environmental policies can be effectively implemented.
