This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Indian Institute of 

Ecology and Environment, New Delhi and University of Central Florida, 

P O Box 25000,  Orlando for mutual cooperation witnesseth in the following lines :

1.	Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment, New Delhi has the 

appropriate technology for the transfer of knowledge in the areas of ecology 

and environment in general and environmental engineering, impact assessment, 

pollution monitoring and control, systems analysis, wildlife conservation, 

environmental education and environmental laws in particular. 



Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment (IIEE) wishes to present all its 

publications, research findings and the occasional monographs free of charge 

for the proper awareness of environmental education movement in India. 

The motivation for bringing awareness specially among the educational 

organisations has been based on the issues of environmental education discussed 

in the deliberations at Founes in 1971 and later at Stockholm in 1972 followed by 

the workshop on Environmental Education at Belgrade in 1975 and then an Inter 

Governmental Conference on the subject at Tbilisi in 1977 organised by 

United Nations Environment programme (UNEP) and UNESCO. The former resulted 

in what is known as the Belgrade Charter and from the latter issued specific 

recommendations on the role of Universities in the propagation of environmental 

education. Hence the role of IIEE through this MoU will be:

a)	to present all the occasional monographs free of charge.

b)	to present all the research reports.

c)	to help prepare and revise Graduate, Master's and Doctoral Programmes 

	on environment and related subjects.

d)	to guide in preparation of project proposals to be funded by different 

	Ministries and other bodies.

e)	to have programmes, seminars, workshops etc. jointly organised for 

	protecting our environment.

f)	to allow the alumnis of the collaborating organisation to pursue the study 

	and research programmes.

2.	University of Central Florida, P O Box 25000, Orlando will agree with this 

	MoU and in return cooperate with IIEE in the following ways :

a)	to present the publication, information and knowledge for mutual exchange 

	of ideas in the areas of ecology and environment for its use by the students, 

	faculty and others.

b)	to help IIEE in the curriculum design or in updating the existing curriculum 

	in the emerging fields.

c)	to allow and register the Post-Graduates of IIEE for pursuing Doctoral programmes (

	D.Litt/Ph.D.) with supervisors and guides from both bodies having the residency 

	requirements to be mutually decided. This will help the alumnis of IIEE to conduct 

	and continue research for the protection of environment in the neighbouring areas.

d)	to implement the Greening programme in the concerned States, with the help of 

	local administration, industrialists, students and the faculty on the guidelines 

	suggested by IIEE. This will help in having a thicker relationship with the 

	State/Federal Government as well as the Industrialists for having a better 

industry-academics interaction for the absorption of the younger generation.

In testimony whereof, the parties to this MoU have hereinto set and subscribed their 

hands for the continuance of  the MoU.
