VCEMS promotes and develops alliances among industry, government and academia to study the relationship of environmental policy to business management and operations. The Center is a Vanderbilt University system-wide initiative jointly led by the School of Engineering, the Owen Graduate School of Management, and the Law School. Center activities are interdisciplinary and focus on environmental business, management and technology. The Center is funded by corporate sponsors and through outside research grants. These funds are used to support curriculum development, student scholarships, faculty research projects, executive seminars, leadership summits, and Center marketing and administration. Research grants for specific projects are provided by foundations, government agencies and corporations.
