An interdisciplinary research lab, the Woods community encompasses more than 50 senior fellows and 150 affiliated faculty as well as researchers, postdoctoral scholars and students collaborating on sustainability research around the globe.〔http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/stanford-university-1305〕 Woods pursues its mission to “protect and nurture our planet so it can meet the vital needs of people today and of generations to come” through research by Stanford's exceptional faculty and students, convening global experts, developing leaders and linking knowledge to action.〔http://woods.stanford.edu/about/overview〕 The Stanford Woods Institute supports and advances research in seven focal areas: climate, ecosystem services and conservation, food security, freshwater, oceans, public health, and sustainable development. It provides millions of dollars in seed funding to catalyze environmental research through its Environmental Ventures Projects (EVP) program in addition to supporting seven research centers, leadership programs and a series of workshops, salons and dialogues for scholars, decision-makers and other stakeholders on- and off-campus. == History == In October 2000 John L. Hennessy was inaugurated as Stanford’s 10th president.〔http://president.stanford.edu/biography/〕 Shortly thereafter, he announced a plan to rethink Stanford’s 21st century priorities. That same year, the Provost's Committee on the Environment produced a report highlighting the need for Stanford to become “a national leader in providing solutions for environmental problems.” 〔http://news.stanford.edu/pr/01/enviro-initiative1017.html〕 As an outgrowth of these events, President Hennessy in 2003 worked with the university’s Provost’s Committee on the Environment to launch a campus-wide Initiative on the Environment and Sustainability. The following year he created the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment to serve as the initiative’s centerpiece and focal point. Envisioned as a hub for Stanford’s environmental researchers, the Institute brought together experts from across the university’s seven schools to pursue interdisciplinary, solutions-oriented research addressing the planet’s most complex environmental challenges while preparing the next generation of environmental leaders. Enthusiasm and broad-based support for the institute led to fast growth. Since its founding, the Woods community has grown from a handful of committed faculty to more than 150 fellows, affiliated scholars and researchers representing all of Stanford’s seven schools. Research sponsored by Woods has led to innovations including solar pumps used to water thirsty crops in the developing world, new technology that removes pathogens from wastewater and the introduction of government policies for drinking water access in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2006 the Institute was formally renamed for Stanford trustee Ward W. Woods, '64, and his wife, Priscilla, whose significant contribution supports innovative environmental programs and collaborative research.〔http://foundationcenter.org/pnd/news/story.jhtml?id=131600021〕 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「Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
