From energy and the environment to bioengineering and health, Cockrell School researchers are developing technologies and solutions in 10 cross-disciplinary Research Impact Areas.

GeoFORCE Texas develops the next generation of STEM leadership by identifying young, academically adept 8th graders and taking them on extraordinary in-person and virtual field academies. Students travel throughout the U.S. learning about geologically relevant field sites from research scientists and faculty.

The Libraries provides geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial data services for university faculty, students and staff across all disciplines and departments. We can help ensure that you have the software, data, technical training, and other resources you might need to successfully carry out any type of geospatial research project.

Our goal is to facilitate geospatial research at the university by helping scholars overcome the technical challenges of working with geographic information in all phases of the research lifecycle.

This nationally recognized series allows leading researchers from The University of Texas and other prominent universities to share their passion about science, technology, engineering and math with the general public. Events are held six times a year (on-campus or virtually). Here’s a list of past participants.

The Longhorn Impact Fellowship at Texas (LIFT) pairs student consultants with sustainable corporations, social enterprises, and non-profits to solve sustainability and impact-focused problems.
