LI-COR Initiatives for Education

LI-COR's commitment to education includes a variety of programs available in the United States and Canada.

Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUI’s):

LI-COR offers the LEEF Program to PUI’s by providing partial funding or special discounts to purchase instruments for use in the classroom and also for undergraduate research either in the laboratory or in the field.

LI-6400XT Students

LEEF Program:

The LI-COR Environmental Educational Fund (LEEF) program is part of LI-COR's ongoing commitment to help colleges enhance their undergraduate science programs using inquiry-based learning. LEEF helps undergraduate students obtain experience in the theory and practical application of current technology and instrumentation. This program includes special packages in Ecophysiology (LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System), Climate Change (LI-8100 Automated Soil CO2 Flux System) and Light Measurements (various light sensors and readout devices). In 2009, LI-COR Biosciences is contributing more than $1,000,000 to PUIs through this program.

Fluorescence Classroom

Graduate Research Universities:

LI-COR offers special discounts for educators to purchase instruments that can be used for undergraduate and graduate level research as well as teaching tools in the classroom, laboratory or field.


6400XT and students

LI-6400XTE Portable Gas Exchange and Fluorescence System – Educational Package:
