Formally established in
December 2001, The Mountain Institute’s Research and Education Program
promotes the use of applied research, mountain education, publications,
and exploration as institutional strengthening, learning, and
sustainable development tools. The Program operates in a cross-programmatic
capacity that promotes the vision, mission, and goals of TMI
and unifies its various projects and programs.
Major program components include:
I. Applied Research/Exploration: Strengthening
TMI’s capacity to incorporate integrated, applied field research
(physical and social sciences) in the design, implementation, and
monitoring/evaluation of all programs for greater understanding of
impacts; and for the development of new, cutting-edge methods and
initiatives.
II. Mountain Education: Enhancing
TMI’s ability to increase local/global awareness for the importance
of mountain peoples and environments through the development of
secondary and higher education courses, curriculum, textbooks, and
peer-reviewed publications.
