Projects for sustainable, resilient and just futures

How can we use projects to achieve a better future?

We are interested in project leadership in emerging industries, questions of resilience and complexity, the role of projects as interventions and how they address uncertainty, emergence and stakeholders.

This interest includes work on net-zero and new forms of energy; and wider questions of humanitarian engineering, societal connections and environmental impact.

Our work draws on expertise across the University of Sydney, including civil and humanitarian engineering, disasters and complex systems, and internationally.
