Welcome to the Institute for Sustainable Futures

The Institute for Sustainable Futures was established as a flagship research institute of the University of Technology, Sydney in 1996.

Our mission is to create change towards sustainable futures through independent, project-based research.

We work in a number of different research areas using a variety of approaches. We share the outcomes of our research through publications such as journal articles, conference papers and project reports.  We occasionally hold workshops and seminars. Our postgraduate program leads to either a Masters or PhD in Sustainable Futures.

You can help us create change towards sustainable futures through your everyday actions, by supporting our research financially or working with us as a volunteer or intern.
