Colleagues:

Welcome to the first thematic meeting of the partneruniversities of the McDonnell International ScholarsAcademy—an initiative launched by WashingtonUniversity in 2005. This International Symposium onEnergy and Environment addresses issues of globalconcern and is probably the first time anywhere inthe world that such a distinguished group of repre-sentatives of the premier universities in Asia and theMiddle East has assembled to discuss energy andenvironmental challenges. This truly promises to bea historic occasion.

We have planned a series of events that will fur-ther facilitate a core part of the Academy’s mission—promoting global connectedness and social responsi-bility. Throughout the weekend, you will hear fromkey scientific, academic, and business leaders frommany places in the world as they discuss the use ofinnovative, environmentally friendly energy resources.You will also have opportunities to connect with smallgroups of colleagues. It is our hope that the ideasgenerated at this Symposium will serve as a catalyst

for future research and collaboration as we deal withone of the most pressing problems of our planet.

The Symposium will showcase several venueson the Danforth Campus at Washington University.You will also have the opportunity to enjoy some ofthe highlights of the city of St. Louis, including theworld-famous St. Louis Gateway Arch.

This event would not be possible without thegenerous support of our corporate sponsors, whoare listed at the back of this program. Special giftsto support this Symposium have been provided byAmeren, Arch Coal, ExxonMobil, Peabody Energy,and the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation.

Thank you for taking time out of your busyschedule to devote to this vitally important topic.We hope that the knowledge gained and collabora-tions fostered by this meeting can strengthen ourglobal efforts to develop environmentally responsi-ble energy resources and technology.

We are honored to have you on our campusand stand ready to do whatever is necessary tomake your visit to Washington University meaning-ful and enjoyable. Sincerely,

St. Louis — The Hub for Environmental & EnergyResearch, Education, Innovation, and Action

“We believe we have a responsibility to meet national and global imperatives in energy, environment, security,health, and economic prosperity. To this end, we havelaunched a bioenergy initiative and created a newDepartment of Energy, Environmental and ChemicalEngineering. Our goal is to become a hub for environ-mental and energy research, education, innovation, and action.”

—Mark S. WrightonChancellorWashington University in St. Louis

Research InitiativesIn April 2006, the creation of five research centers was proposed as a result of a university-wide working group:

• Aerosols and Air Quality• Energy• Environmental Health• Sustainable Ecosystems• Sustainable River Systems

The goal in proposing these five areas is to build onthe existing strengths and promote synergistic and com-plementary development of energy and environmentalprograms. In addition, ethics, economics, law, policy, and geospatial information science and technology arethemes that cut across all five research centers.

Academic Environmental ProgramsThe newly created Department of Energy, Environmentaland Chemical Engineering in the School of Engineering &Applied Science has a focus on environmental engineeringscience, energy systems, and chemical engineering.

The Environmental Studies Program in Arts &Sciences offers undergraduate students an opportunity to undertake a major or minor in environmental sciencesor in societal issues associated with the environment. Theprogram is interdisciplinary, taking advantage of facultyexpertise in anthropology, biology, economics, earth andplanetary sciences, law, political science, environmentalregulation, and engineering.

Other environmentally oriented programs are providedin the following schools:

– Arts & Sciences/Departments of Anthropology,Biology, Earth and Planetary Sciences

– Olin School of Business– Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts/

Architecture– School of Engineering & Applied Science/

Departments of Computer Science andEngineering; Electrical and Systems Engineering;Mechanical, Aerospace, and Structural Engineering

– School of Law/Interdisciplinary EnvironmentalClinic

– School of Medicine
