Thematic Research Networks:
Globalization and current societal challenges increases the need for researchers to collaborate across regions, institutions and disciplines. Orchestrated through its Global Sustainability Research Initiative, the University for Sustainability (US) shall establish Thematic Networks comprising leading scientists, engineers, academics, students and practitioners from business and civil society to promote solutions to key challenges of sustainable development. Providing extraordinary experiential learning opportunities to its students and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborative research opportunities, the Thematic Networks are solution oriented rather than research oriented and aim to identify practical solutions to the challenges of sustainable development. We shall develop a state-of-the-art joint research infrastructure management system offering infrastructure-as-a-serve to enable the researchers to use facilities at partner institutions. Each Thematic Network and related Institutes and Centres shall determine its own priorities focusing on five key questions:
Funding Research: The University is creating two funding vehicles for research: the Research Development Fund and the Sustainable Development Innovation Fund.
