The Polytechnic Institute of Rio de Janeiro (IPRJ)
houses a centre for environmental studies which aims
at promoting solid social action within the environment,
which, in turn, contributes towards the development
of ecological awareness. To this end, the Institute
employs the technological know-how of both faculty staff
and academic student. The Project for Environmental
Studies, created by the Institute, reflects a joint
effort in various fields, including those involving
environmental education, the creation of a laboratory
for environmental control, research in the area of recycling
of solid residues, control of effluents and the simulation
of environmental problems by means of the numerical
methods including sustainable development tools. To
ensure that the project functions smoothly, the Centre
has been organized into six segments which function
on an interdisciplinarily basis, namely: Environmental
Educational, Environmental Law, Environmental Administration,
Technological Administration, Marketing and Environmental
Impact.
