Check Out These Climate+ Summer Research Projects

This summer, 260 undergraduate and graduate students joined research teams through Duke’s +Programs, exploring questions ranging from AI ethics to climate change, documentary storytelling and public history.

Deadline: June 26, 2026. Duke students from all degree programs can apply for the Fall 2026 U.N. Climate Change Negotiations Practicum (ENVIRON 592/PUBPOL 592), culminating at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye.

Since 2015, Ed Balleisen has led the university’s efforts to advance interdisciplinarity, partnering with academic leaders across campus. We asked him to reflect on what makes Duke’s interdisciplinary approach distinctive.
