University of California, Irvine - Department of Earth System Science Description: Understanding global environmental issues such as global warming, stratospheric ozone depletion and worldwide air pollution requires the cooperation of scientists across many disciplines. Global change is projected to accelerate through the 21st century and will impact the ecosystems that preserve the habitability of the planet. The Department of Earth System Science focuses on the atmosphere, land and oceans - how they interact as a system - and how the Earth will change over a human lifetime. Founded as a Geosciences program in 1989 with current Chancellor Ralph J. Cicerone as director, Earth System Science achieved department status in 1995. Less than a decade later, the Department of Earth System Science has earned a reputation as one of the most influential academic departments in the nation devoted to studying the Earth as a system.

Universidade Nova de Lisboa Description: The Universidade Nova de Lisboa, with its nine Academic Units, currently constitutes an incontestable cultural, artistic, academic and technological resource. It reaches into almost every part of human kind’s academic research and teaching heritage, which are recognised as areas universities are fully endowed to serve. It has a strong tradition of work in areas of innovation, with corresponding outcomes in the economy, services, and in extra curricular training. It has established important protocols with its peers both nationally and internationally as well as with practically all meaningful institutions contributing to our daily reality as a nation, namely those belong to our cultural heritage, taking part in economic activity, health care or contributing to local government. This is a construction that, although it aims at being timeless, has, nonetheless, been the result of groups of people in many different areas of knowledge dedicating to achieving high levels of quality while pursuing in the search for knowledge so as to provide answers to society’s needs in the course of its evolutionary trajectory. In this journey through time and space, which involves us all, the Universidade Nova de Lisboa is conscious of its obligations and the responsibility it has taken on board to the society which it aims at serving.
