Sustainability Fellowships

As part of the Campus Sustainability initiative, the IARU has established a Sustainability Fellowship Program.

This program allows a small number of selected students to work on exchange in the Campus Sustainability Departments of IARU member institutions, undertaking environmental management projects.  These projects have an operational focus and in many case generate outcomes that can be applied more widely.

The best of these project reports are published on the IARU website, and will be available to the broader international tertiary sector.

Fellowship Reports

Sustainability Fellows are students who complete exchanges within the Sustainability Departments of IARU members.  During these secondments, the Fellows complete various projects related to achieving the environmental goals of their host University.  However, in many cases, the analysis and subsequent proposed actions can be applied at any University.
