SSRP Round 9 funding
SSRP is delighted to be supporting four new cutting-edge research projects, set to receive funding for the 2024/2025 academic year. These projects, selected as part of SSRP’s 9th seed-funding call ‘Scaling up Sustainability Research’, will drive impactful sustainability research forward, focusing on diverse areas such as territorial and indigenous rights, ecosystem protection, innovative sustainable eduction for young people, combining public health and biodiversity in Oceania, and trade and deforestation regulations.
While the programme is very pleased to be welcoming the next generation of sustainability researchers from across campus, it is also committed to supporting ongoing SSRP streams of work - building on the community’s strengths and long-standing partnerships and following its recognition as a ÄûÃÊÊÓƵ Centre of Excellence.
With ongoing support from SSRP and a modest pot of funding, these initiatives, led by interdsciplinary research teams, promise to advance the vision of SSRP and the University in creating a more sustainable world, both at home and further afield:
