About the Institute
With joint sponsorship from the Graham Foundation and the University of Michigan (U-M), the Graham Institute is a collaborative partnership of schools, colleges and units across the U-M. The Graham Institute fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration to create and disseminate knowledge and to offer solutions related to complex sustainability issues. Specifically, we:
- Create and support interdisciplinary educational programs that explore the complexities of environmental sustainability and emphasize the inter-relationships between ecological systems.
- Bring together diverse collections of researchers and stakeholders to develop science-based assessments that are intended to inform and assist policymakers in the decision making process.
- Develop outreach programs that educate external communities and constituents on how to economically and effectively achieve sustainability.
- Leverage and promote existing U-M research, education, outreach, and operational efforts related to sustainability.
