Project Description
The Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme is a platform through which member universities undertake research on matters related to sustainable development, according to an agreed-upon work plan and agenda. The IUSDRP started in 2014 and Griffith joined in 2016.
Project Personnel and Beneficiaries
There are more than 120 universities involved that are spread around the world. Professor Walter Leal from the Manchester metropolitan University is the Chairperson. The organization’s website is supported by the University of Hamburg. Associate Professor Michael Howes is the Griffith University Coordinator.
Outcomes to Date
There has been a series of international conferences, books, articles, and research collaborations.
Project Significance
The IUSDRP aims to:
– Assemble interdisciplinary, cross-faculty teams among its member universities that focus on sustainable development, with a keen interest in bidding for national and international sustainability research projects.
– Set-up and maintain a working environment that encourages international cooperation, supports institutional and inter-institutional project development, and hence increases the chances of success in project bidding and acquisition.
– Link and engage with the sustainability research community at member universities in the joint training of PhD students and the organisation of specific, strategic events.
– Catalyse and facilitate the production of high-quality joint publications in indexed journals, as well as in ground-breaking books and book chapters, in cooperation with well-established publishers.
