During the last decades human ingenuity and activity have unfortunately resulted in the proliferation and the release of new man-made chemicals into the environment. As we now know, such pollution problems are not isolated and local, but found in every nation. This poses a magnitude of new questions like: Are these pollutants transported by air or water to distant locations? Are they harmful to human health? Do they threaten more sensitive wildlife species? How can we detect contamination in the environment? What can we do to hasten their destruction? Since environmental contamination touches everyone's life, it also raises other issues for scientists and engineers such as which laws deal with this issue? Which state, federal or international agencies should be involved? How can scientists and engineers inform and work with the public to alleviate fear and/or prevent harm? Solutions to environmental problems are therefore a team effort. Thus, future scientists and engineers need (i) thorough training in their specific field, (ii) basic knowledge about socioeconomic, legal, engineering and science aspects outside their field, and (iii) an ability to communicate and cooperate with specialists in other disciplines and societies. These are the goals of the proposed Cross- Disciplinary Training "Without Borders" core project. This training core builds on successful collaborations among the isbrp faculty and with international colleagues. It enhances and establishes new activities among these scientists that promote cross-disciplinary education, and use new information technology to connect students and faculty around the world. Graduate students and postdocs are recruited into the program based on their ability, motivation and academic record. Emphasis is placed on identifying and recruiting qualified individuals from underrepresented groups in science and engineering. Other students, post-docs and professionals are encouraged to participate by using modern information technology. The outstanding achievements of our students and postdocs in the first 3 years of this isbrp demonstrate that the Training Core achieved its mission. The continuing extremely generous financial support of the Graduate College, even in these challenging times, shows the confidence of Ul in the Training Core. This isbrp has the ideal basis to train the scientist for the 21st century.

在过去的几十年中，不幸的是，人类的创造力和活动导致了新的人造化学物质向环境的增殖和释放。众所周知，这种污染问题不是孤立的和本地的，而是在每个国家发现的。这提出了许多新问题，例如：这些污染物是由空气还是水运输到遥远的位置？它们对人类健康有害吗？它们会威胁到更敏感的野生动植物吗？我们如何检测环境中的污染？我们该怎么做才能加速他们的破坏？由于环境污染触动了每个人的生活，因此也为科学家和工程师（例如哪个法律涉及此问题）提出了其他问题？应该参与哪个州，联邦或国际机构？科学家和工程师如何告知和与公众合作以减轻恐惧和/或防止伤害？因此，解决环境问题的解决方案是团队的努力。因此，未来的科学家和工程师需要（i）在其特定领域进行彻底培训，（ii）有关其领域以外的社会经济，法律，工程和科学方面的基本知识，以及（iii）与其他学科和社会的专家进行交流和合作的能力。这些是拟议的交叉的目标 - 纪律培训“无国界”核心项目。这种培训核心是基于ISBRP教师和国际同事之间成功合作的基础。它在这些科学家中增强并建立了新的活动，这些科学家促进跨学科教育，并使用新的信息技术将世界各地的学生和教师联系起来。研究生和博士后根据其能力，动机和学术记录招募了该计划。重点是从科学和工程领域的代表性不足的群体中识别和招募合格的个人。鼓励其他学生，专业人士和专业人士使用现代信息技术参与。在ISBRP的前三年，我们的学生和博士后取得的杰出成就表明，训练核心达到了任务。即使在这些充满挑战的时代，研究生院也持续慷慨的财政支持表明了UL对培训核心的信心。这个ISBRP是培训21世纪科学家的理想基础。
