Hokkaido University Forests
Description: The history of the Hokkaido University goes back to 1876 when Sapporo Agricultural College was founded as the first higher educational institution in Japan. The principle beliefs of our university introduced back then were based on a Pioneering Spirit cultivating an international appreciation, Liberalism, and Applied Learning. In 2001 we celebrated the 125 Anniversary of our university and we all reconfirmed that the beliefs we adhered to 125 years ago have become even more meaningful in today's world.

Institue of Arctic Biology
Description: The Institute of Arctic Biology (IAB), established by the Alaska Legislature and the University of Alaska Board of Regents in 1962, supports faculty research and graduate education in biological, wildlife, and health sciences at UAF. Major programs include the Center for Alaska Native Health Research, Alaska Basic Neuroscience Program, Human Dimensions of Arctic Systems, and the Center for Molecular Genetic Studies of Hibernation. IAB faculty deliver the entire curriculum for undergraduate majors in Biology and Wildlife Biology, an increasing component of Chemistry and Biochemistry majors, and provide UAF undergraduates with opportunities for hands-on research experiences in the field and laboratory. IAB sponsors the weekly Life Science Seminar, and the yearly Irving-Scholander Memorial Lecture and Jay Hammond Lecture in Wildlife Biology series.

INSTITUTE OF BASIC BIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
Description: The Institute (formerly the Institute of Photosynthesis of the USSR Academy of Sciences) was established in 1966 by the initiative of Academicians A.N. Terenin, A.A.Krasnovsky, E.N. Kondratieva, Corresponding-member A.A.Nichiporovich and Professor V.B.Evstigneev (the first Director of the Institute). ��The Institute�s staff is about 230 persons. Half of them are researches, including 1 Academician, 20 Doctors of Science and 71 Candidates of Science (Ph.D.). About 70 papers are published annually in Russian and International journals.

Institute of Environmental Physics
Description: The University became a veritable well-spring of new ideas and intellectual currents. Martin Luther's disputation in April 1518 made a lasting impact and his adherents among the masters and scholars soon became leading Reformationists in Southwest Germany. Notably after the Palatinate's turn to the Reformed faith, reforms in the spirit of humanism had immense influence on the intellectual climate of the day. The Heidelberg Catechism drawn up by professors from Heidelberg is famed throughout the world as the seminal document of the Reformed Church. The University represented a haven of undogmatic thinking, attracting professors and students from all over Europe.

Institute of Observational Research for Global Change (IORGC)
Description: It is therefore anticipated to grasp the environment changes on the continent and ocean scales including such regions as the vast region of underwater, polar region, permafrost zone, tropical rainforest and alike, where the observations are conducted with enormous efforts. Based upon the observed data in such regions, we are determined to elucidate individual processes of the environment changes and interactions among them so that which can be mathematically modeled before being integrated into a global change prediction model with high accuracy.

Institute of Plant Sciences
Description: The Institute of Plant Sciences of the University of Bern (IPS), Switzerland, is a teaching and research institute, consisting of five independent research sections. The education of a plant scientists at the IPS takes four years, including a diploma work (Master's thesis) of one year, a PhD thesis lasts three years. Our aim is the education of plant scientists who are able to work independently as scientists in research or administration, who have a broad knowledge about general botany, who understand important processes in plants and who master the most important methods in plant ecology, statistics, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. In addition we stress the ability to co-operate, to give good seminars and to take responsibility.

Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry SB RAS
Description: South-taiga (geographical) field station situated in south-taiga sub-belt of Western Siberia has at hand a set of scientific equipment that permits to carry out investigations of dynamics of soil regimes and to determine emission of hotbed gases. Natural modelling is also performed here; it is based on selection of models which represent themselves chrono- topo- or other sequences that gives a chance to study soil evolution at geologically measurable periods. This station has been functioning since 1970.
