University of Maryland
As the state's flagship university, the University of Maryland (www.umd.edu/) educates the most talented students from Maryland and beyond. We ranked eleventh among all public U.S. universities and 37th worldwide in a recent international survey, and we were named one of the top fifteen "green universities" in the country. Our faculty includes Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners. Our students win prestigious awards for their academic achievements and civic engagement, and our graduates enjoy successful careers in their chosen fields. We embrace diversity, and we are taking advantage of our proximity to Washington, D.C., to educate tomorrow's leaders and address global challenges.
The University’s GreenTouch membership is lead by researchers in the Institute for Systems Research (ISR- www.isr.umd.edu/). ISR is home to cross disciplinary research and education programs in systems engineering and sciences, and is committed to developing basic solution methodologies and tools for systems problems in a variety of application domains.
