Our primary aim is to tackle the most critical challenges facing society and our environment through evidence-based solutions and collaborative work.
How we work
Sustainability and Resilience Institute brings together all our inter and transdisciplinary work in sustainability across the university, giving students as well as staff opportunities to be involved in world-leading solutions led research, education and enterprise.
Working in partnership with internal and external colleagues we have a collective international reputation for addressing the most challenging elements of sustainability and resilience through interdisciplinary social, cultural, economic, political, and natural environment work.
Our focus is on building and enhancing networks that challenge conventional thinking in order to proactively manage the most wicked of problems that is sustainability and the resilience of our responses.
Our work is framed through the application of the University’s ‘triple helix strategy’ of intertwining our globally-recognised research, education and enterprise work with collaboration of people running through the centre of everything we do.
