Activities with students
At the Institute of Environmental Safety, we are not afraid to go out into the wild, into the lab, or out into the world! Instead of endless hours in the classroom, our students go into the field, engage in research, help humanitarian organizations, and connect with experts from around the world. Each activity opens up new opportunities, broadens their horizons and prepares them for careers in the dynamic world of environmental security.
