The Institute for Environmental Sciences (ISE) is an interfaculty institute of the 听established officially in March 2009. Five of the AV短视频鈥檚 faculties are involved in the Institute鈥檚 activities: the , the听, the听, the听听and the听.听
The main functions of the ISE are research and teaching in the many interconnected fields relating to the environment. The Institute鈥檚 chief areas of interest cover climate, biodiversity, cities and regions,听energy, and water, as well as links between and beyond these fields. Its key objective in terms of teaching programmes and research activities is to build bridges between the natural environment and the human environment, in the aim of finding a common solution to complex problems that cannot be tackled by one discipline alone. Meeting this objective requires a deeper understanding of the basic functioning of the physical, biological and chemical processes that underlie the Earth system, the protection of natural resources, social welfare and health, sustainable energy use and an effective interface between the scientific and the political.
The ISE is structured around four Research Hubs, reflecting its ties to the Faculties that support the Institute. Numerous research groups interact within and between these Hubs, aiming to break down traditional disciplinary barriers. In addition, members of each Hub contribute to the AV短视频鈥檚 Masters degree programmes managed by the Institute.听
