Title edit
Natural Resources Institute
Description edit
is a specialized Institute and School of the University of Greenwich at Medway, in the county of Kent, England. The University of Greenwich is a multi-campus University in south-east London and Kent, serving higher education needs both locally and nationally within the UK, and regionally in the European Union, and reaching out to provide research, consultancy and education services worldwide, especially through the long-established international activities of NRI in the developing world on the sustainable management of natural and human resources.
Although a major component of NRI's work in the past has been concerned with developing countries and those with economies in transition, its expertise has increasingly proved to be of growing relevance to the development and management of natural resources in industrialized countries. Recently, NRI's collaboration with the University's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Medway, and with the expertise of the University's Medway Sciences team in pharmaceutical science, has further extended NRI's skills in natural resources issues to span the world from the poorest developing countries to the most highly industrialized countries.
NRI's reputation is founded on a long history of expertise in the development of natural resources in the developing world, and the Institute - and its predecessors - is known world-wide for this, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. This long-standing reputation continues to be supported by recent assessment and evaluation. In 2000, our quality management system was audited against the ISO 9001 standard (1994), and it was recommended and accepted for BSI registration. Later that year it was announced that the University of Greenwich had earned a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in the 2000 round for the work of NRI on "Food Security in the Developing World."
