The Centre for Environmental Policy (often abridged as CEP) is a department at Imperial College London in the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Its aim is to have an impact on a wide range of environmental issues through research and support of efforts on the environmental, energy and health aspects of global problems. The current Head of Department is Dr Zen Makuch. == History == The Centre for Environmental Policy was first established in 1977 as the ''Interdepartmental Centre for Environmental Technology'' (ICCET). ICCET was the first of many interdisciplinary centres within Imperial College London to cross traditional boundaries between departments. It aims “to produce quality research, teaching and advice on environmental matters”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/environmentalpolicy/about )〕 Whilst Imperial College is known for its scientific and technological activities,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2013-14/subject-ranking/subject/life-sciences/institution/imperial-college-london )〕 the Centre was established to combine these with the legal, medical, economic and sociological aspects of the environment, with particular emphasis on cross-linkages between the disciplines. CEP has since evolved to cover a wide range of science, technology and policy research, teaching within the broad disciplines of physical and natural environment and more specifically in the energy, agriculture and international development fields. Under its most recent structure, CEP focuses primarily on evidence-based policy making with an emphasis in social sciences relevant to the environment and to the interface between science and policy in key environmental subjects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/environmentalpolicy/about/centremission )〕 This work is often carried out in collaboration with other departments at Imperial College London. CEP holds the status of a Department in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and undertakes interdisciplinary research in environmental issues with research published in a wide range of science and social-science peer-reviewed journals. In addition to research opportunities, the department offers two Postgraduate Taught and Research degrees - PhDs and the MSc in Environmental Technology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/environmentalpolicy/teaching/msc )〕 CEP is organized in functional groups around research topics, and teaching is related closely to the research groups by subject. The current Head of Department is Dr. Zen Makuch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centre for Environmental Policy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
