The Greening of Industry Network

Mission
The Greening of Industry Network is an international partnership, a research and policy institute without walls, focusing on issues of industry, environment and society, and dedicated to building a sustainable future. Three offices coordinate Network activities: Clark University, USA; Chulalongkorn University, Thailand; and the University of Twente in the Netherlands. The Network's mission is to stimulate, coordinate and promote dialogue and research of high quality and relevance to ensure that the activities of industry -- including business, labor, consumers, government and others -- are consistent with building a sustainable future.

Since 1991 the Greening of Industry Network has engaged participants from more than 50 countries to respond to the challenge of sustainable development. Through linked conferences, publications and communications, the Network seeks to create new relationships, visions and practices for sustainability.

With 17 faculties, Chulalongkorn trains graduates in various fields to serve national needs and future challenges under the themes of Excellence, Social Responsibility and Internationalization. The Environmental Research Institute of Chulalongkorn University (ERIC), established in 1974, supports study, research and information dissemination useful for development planning and the protection, recovery and conservation of the environment.

University of Twente
The University of Twente (UT) was founded in 1961. It offers both technological and social science research and study programs. The UT is a fully accredited, largely government-financed university with more than 6,500 students enrolled. It has a constant spin-off of young, innovative companies and strong links with a Business and Science park, situated alongside the university campus. Modeled after the Anglo-Saxon example, the University of Twente is the only real campus university in the Netherlands. An old park, embellished with modern architecture, forms a unique environment for student life, sports and study.

In 1989 the Center for Clean Technology and Environmental Policy (CSTM) was established as an interfaculty institute for environmental studies at UT. Besides its research efforts, CSTM offers several postgraduate training programs.
