A brief description of any internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to non-academic staff:
iSEE Congress is an assembly of the leading national and international scientists, researchers, educators, and activists from different disciplines. These experts present the latest scientific research and community action on grand world challenges of sustainability, energy generation and conservation, and the environment. Attendees gain an understanding of the latest knowledge in these areas — and the directions for future research, actions and policy frameworks that could contribute to long-term breakthroughs.
Each Congress provides a forum to not only discuss global challenges, but also to highlight an agenda for actionable research. By bringing local, national, and international experts — from academia, industry, governments, and NGOs — together for these discussions, iSEE is fostering new research collaborations across disciplines and across continents.
The Levenick iSEE Fellows Program accomplishes iSEE’s goal of actionable research — that is, work that leads to lasting, real-world solutions to the world’s current and future sustainability-, energy- and environment-related issues.
The Levenick iSEE Fellows Fund supports the Institute through Research Fellows, Instructional Fellows, Teaching Sustainability Fellows, and Scholars. Illinois faculty Fellows and student Scholars will research — and teach about — specific problems of campus and global sustainability.
By its very nature, Fellows’ work will also support iSEE’s goals in the areas of campus sustainability, education, and outreach, as they seek solutions for campus issues, teach students and colleagues, and communicate about the great need for more sustainable practices.
