Following a successful round of ISF-DUIRI projects during summer 2023, ISF continued its DUIRI partnership, supporting 6 students on 4 different projects during the Fall 2023 semester. These interdisciplinary projects promote collaborative sustainability research in areas including climate change, water quality, material science, mechanical engineering and marine energy. ISF supports ISF-DUIRI Fellows by hosting additional professional development activities and facilitate peer networking opportunities. Students share by biweekly updates to ISF and their mentors regarding their progress throughout the semester. Other areas of support can include resources and training for poster development and writing research articles and abstracts.
