Sustainability is one of three strategic themes for research at the University of Bath. Centred on Science and Technology Driven Sustainability, the Institute for Sustainability brings together a unique range of expertise to address the core focus of sustainability, spanning curiosity-driven molecular science, challenge-led fundamental science, applied science and engineering, and whole systems approaches.

We apply interdisciplinarity across all spheres of activity: research-led education; PhD training; Early Career Researchers’ development; fundamental and applied research; international collaboration; policy, public engagement; and knowledge exchange.
