Welcome GCSE Members
GCSE Members are part of an international community of influential leaders across scientific and academic societies, government at all levels, and the private sector. GCSE works with a core community of universities to provide concrete opportunities to engage with decision-makers and learn about science policy through immersive experiences. The GCSE community collaborates on scholarship and synthesis and works to prepare the next generation of environmental leaders for the workforce of the future.
GCSE values your institution's membership. GCSE membership benefits are available to all individuals from the Member institution: deans, directors, administrators, and academic leaders; faculty and researchers; and undergraduate and graduate students. The information below will help you maximize the value of your institution's membership benefits.
Please contact membership@gcseglobal.org if you have any questions about membership or these benefits.
Leadership and Community
- Each Member Institution can select two representatives to participate in the GCSE Alliance of Sustainability and Environmental Academic Leaders (the GCSE Leaders' Alliance). Please contact membership@gcseglobal.org to select or confirm your institution's representatives to the GCSE Leaders' Alliance.
- GCSE Communities of Practice (CoPs) are multi-institutional technical working groups that support and amplify education, research, and analysis from higher education institutions. The CoPs are open to anyone at a Member institutions. CoPs meet in person at the Winter and Summer Member Meetings and meet virtually in the intervening months, under the direction of the CoP co-chairs.
- View the list of current CoPs. Contact membership@gcseglobal.org if you are interested in joining. Each CoP has an email list managed through a Google Group.
- If you are interested in starting a new CoP, please contact membership@gcseglobal.org.
Special Event Opportunities
- GCSE Members come together virtually throughout the year for special Member-focused programming, including the Science Dialogues and the Winter Member Meeting. Learn more.
- Each Member Institution receives unlimited discounted and select complimentary registrations to the GCSE Annual Conference. GCSE will provide the registration code to the Leaders' Alliance representatives once conference registration opens. We ask that the Leaders' Alliance representatives allocate the complimentary registrations among colleagues interested in attending.
