Transatlantic WSU-Denmark Coalition for Environmental Sustainability at Aarhus University
This Scan Design Foundation-funded Washington State University (WSU) international collaboration project pursues the overarching objective of expanding the environmental-sustainability education and research collaboration between Washington State University and Danish universities.
Participating in this project are WSU’s College of Arts & Sciences and College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resources Sciences, through the School of the Environment, Honors College, and Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture.
WSU Students and Professors in Denmark
The 2024 Scan-Design-Foundation scholars will be at Aarhus University in the fall 2024 semester.
Each participating WSU professor is awarded a fellowship to visit with counterparts in Denmark for up to 2 business weeks to discuss international research collaborations. The fellowship covers the round-trip airfare to Denmark as well as living expenses and an honorarium.
The planned international research collaboration between WSU professors and Danish counterparts will also be fostered by their joint supervision of the environmental sustainability projects to be completed by the exchange WSU students in Denmark. Through their synergistic international collaborations, WSU professors and their Danish counterparts are anticipated to advance education and research more effectively, efficiently, and rapidly than allowed by the resources of any single institution. Such advances, in turn, would increase the number of jointly authored publications and grant proposals to U.S., Danish, and European Union agencies in support of environmental-sustainability research and development.
This Scan Design Foundation project is expertly led by Dr. Joseph Iannelli (VCEA), who has developed WSU’s current partnerships with Denmark’s Aalborg University and Aarhus University.
