About Integrated Institute of Environment and Development (IIED FUPRE)

The Integrated Institute of Environment and Development (IIED) formed by Foundation for Conservation of Nigerian Rivers and Federal University of Petroleum Resources in 2017 is established as an overarching institute to provide a university-wide platform for collaboration among the different disciplines within and outside the university to pursue innovative, integrated and inter/multi-disciplinary research and training in environment and sustainable development, focusing on regional, national and international issues.

IIED was eventually approved as a Centre by the Governing Council of the University with an expanded scope to conduct specialized environmental competency certificate courses, postgraduate programmes and innovative researches that would produce graduates with relevant skills to proffer solutions to environmental challenges for sustainable development.
