International Research Cluster 2025/26
EnviroLink: Linking Research, Education, and Technology in Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences
Director: Christina Bogner
This project seeks to advance interdisciplinary teaching and research in environmental sciences, with a strong emphasis on integrating innovative technologies, fostering cross-departmental collaboration, and exploring both historical and contemporary environmental studies in Georgia.
Subprojects
The Research Cluster comprises 3 projects:
Subproject 1: Teaching interdisciplinary environmental sciences at ISU and UoC
In this subproject, we will develop a draft for a master’s program in interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences at ISU, modelled after the IMES program at UoC and tailored to ISU’s strengths and expertise.
Subproject 2: Capacity building in environmental contamination research — plastic as a main contaminant of the 21st Century
Within this subproject, we intend to develop laboratory and fieldwork capacities in microplastic analyses in Georgia for future common project applications.
