History

 As the concept of IROCE developed, leaders found common goals with the Institute for a Sustainable Environment (ISE). As the university’s oldest sustainability institute, the ISE was a thriving center for collaborative research, technical assistance, and policy education.

By merging into a single institute, IROCE and ISE bring together leadership and expertise at an organizational and human scale. IROCE advances the University of Oregon’s mission to help tackle challenges faced not only by our organization, but by our larger community.
