Who We Are

Environmental challenges facing the world are immense. The University of Notre Dame's Ph.D. training program in Global Linkages of Biology, the Environment, and Society (GLOBES) offers real hope for the future. Launched by an Integrative Graduate Education, Research, and Traineeship grant (IGERT) from the National Science Foundation, GLOBES brings together the complementary skills and knowledge of biologists, environmental and social scientists, public policy experts, lawyers, and religious and community leaders. Collectively they seek innovative and interdisciplinary solutions to a wide range of interrelated problems in environmental and human health.
