The Organization and Operation of Syracuse Center of Excellence

Organizationally, the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (SyracuseCoE) is a federation of members, including industrial firms, businesses, research organizations, economic development agencies, and academic institutions.

Within the federation, SyracuseCoE recognizes three kinds of members: partners, charter members, and collaborators.

The federation concept means that members work together to advance their common interests without compromising individual identities and autonomies.

Syracuse University leads the overall SyracuseCoE federation, and also its primary research enterprise, the Environmental Quality Systems (EQS) Strategically Targeted Academic Research (STAR) Center.

SyracuseCoE Industry Collaborations, formerly the New York Indoor Environmental Quality (NYIEQ) Center, leads corporate and commercialization programs within the SyracuseCoE.
 
Leaders of SyracuseCoE and the EQS STAR Center work together closely through multiple joint committees and working groups that pursue collaborative initiatives and projects.  For example, the three organizations join to offer an annual SyracuseCoE Symposium, which is held every October.
 
To ensure that activities of SyracuseCoE are carefully coordinated to create synergies and collaborations among the organizations' academic and industrial partners, a single group of individuals serves as both the Advisory Board for SyracuseCoE and the Board of Directors for SyracuseCoE Industry Collaborations.
