The IICE's purpose is to bring together academics, researchers, and practitioners who have an interest in approaching environmental issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of information among people from different countries and disciplinary backgrounds so that participants can listen, discuss, and consider new concepts to implement in their area of study. We believe that a cross-discipline and cross-boundary exchange is not only beneficial but essential if we are to address the complex, multifaceted environmental issues of present-day and the future. IICE attendees organize PowerPoint or poster presentations, attend round table discussions, engage with keynote speakers, and obtain new professional connections in a safe and diverse academic space.
