Purdue University has a strong history in conducting interdisciplinary research and many of our faculty have achieved national prominence in environmental science and engineering. Much of the research conducted by faculty in the Center for the Environment (C4E) falls within four initial focus areas: (1) sensory landscapes and intelligent monitoring; (2) ECO-Hub; (3) sustainable futures, and (4) technologies for cleaner air, soil, and water.
The Center helps stimulate interdisciplinary research by providing support for seed grants, a seminar series, graduate research showcase, workshops, and other synergizing activities. We provide the administrative support needed to bring together successful teams of faculty, staff, and non-university partners to delivery innovative science to government and industry needs in environmental research and development. C4E staff can help connect industry representatives with appropriate faculty and staff, coordinate multiple-investigator grant proposals, and assist in large project management.
The Center for Environment is synergizing relationships between faculty from many disciplines, industry, the public, and the government to respond to environmental challenges.
