As part of EPIIC’s requirements, students have the option to conduct semester long, or year long, research projects of their own choice and design – or to join research projects being conducted by the IGL’s INSPIRE Fellows or other EPIIC friends. Last year, students conducted research in such countries as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Costa Rica, France, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, and Venezuela.

Sean Love
EPIIC '95, currently the bureau chief for Internews Service in Azerbaijan

"When most students were writing term papers over winter break, I was working on my own "class project" for EPIIC: a documentary film I shot on location in Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan was having the first democratic elections in its history and I wanted to document them. But as a 21-year old student with no film making experience, I had a hard time convincing grant givers I was a good investment.

EPIIC Delegations

Over the years, EPIIC has sent a number of student delegations to conferences as presenters and participants.

In 2002, students from EPIIC's "Global Inequities" year successfully organized to have the Institute recognized as an educational NGO with the United Nations. They went to Johannesburg, South Africa to participate in the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Rio+10). Here is a brief summary of their achievements and accomplishments.

EPIIC Symposium On Global Poverty And Inequality

Matt Mercier — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:35:06 -0500

Mass poverty is one of the world’s most pressing problems and daunting challenges. The compelling facts are well known:

• Over one billion people – almost one in five – live in extreme poverty, subsisting on less than a dollar a day.
• If the poverty line was raised to $2 a day, more than half of the world’s population would be living in poverty.
• Over 100 million primary school-age children cannot afford to go to school.
• Eight million people die each year simply because they lack the means to survive.
