Future development

Rapid economic development and heavy industrialization in Taiwan are deteriorating the country’s environment. Because public awareness of environmental issues has increased, environmental engineering has become one of the most important fields of science and technology. The mission of the Institute is to integrate science and technology, to develop ways and means of improving our environment, and to eliminate adverse effects caused by modern civilization.

With the hope of firmly establishing research teams capable of taking on large-scale environmental relevant projects, GIEE actively promotes multi-disciplinary research that involves researchers from various academic fields. Future development will emphasize on the fields of water quality control, air quality management, solid wastes treatment, environmental planning and management, environmental conservation, efficient uses of resources and energy, and environmental quality monitoring and assessment.
