ºÚÁÏÉç’s Bicentennial milestone is a significant occasion to highlight the importance of collaboration and innovation in sustainability, locally and beyond. 

In September, ºÚÁÏÉç will be hosting the Sustainable Futures Festival, a week-long series of events that invite the ºÚÁÏÉç community, as well as partners and guests, to envision a collective future.

Events that ºÚÁÏÉç community members can look forward to include:


About the Bicentennial

ºÚÁÏÉç’s bicentennial anniversary represents a momentous occasion for our community. It is as much a time to celebrate our long history of achievement as it is an opportunity for reflection as we chart the course for our third century.

About the ºÚÁÏÉç Sustainability Systems Initiative

Shifting to a more sustainable future requires taking a multi-faceted, systems-level approach to some of the world’s knottiest problems. The ºÚÁÏÉç Sustainability Systems Initiative (MSSI) seeks to mobilize ºÚÁÏÉç researchers around sustainability challenges and equip the next generation with the skills needed to address these issues. In its novel approach, the MSSI provides opportunities for researchers from very different disciplines to interact and co-design projects that address complex problems from a variety of perspectives. The outcome is a robust and vibrant community of committed sustainability researchers.
