Upcoming Website Maintenance

Early this Monday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - will be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

EC/ES 335 - Environmental Policies and Green Business in Freiburg

In this course we will take a look at the “Green City” Freiburg: Historical roots and citizens’ movements; local environmental policy-making in light of greater (national and supranational) legal frameworks; policy measures in different areas of environmental concern; business ideas and opportunities in Freiburg and the “Regio”, its surrounding region. In four accompanying field trips, we will get to know local enterprises and learn firsthand about the relevance of economic incentives, the “Freiburg factor”, and individual entrepreneurship in doing “green business”.
