Sustainability Living Lab
In partnership with the Sustainability Action Fund, Concordia will launch a new Sustainability Living Lab program. This program will:
- Link the plan’s goals, targets and strategies with hands-on learning activities for students through classroom projects and internship opportunities
- Form partnerships with researchers interested in using the campus as a testing ground for solutions to sustainability problems
- Enable community members to propose and implement projects that further our progress towards our vision for sustainable food, waste, climate, research and curriculum at Concordia
$80,000 will be available to fund these projects for each year of our five-year plan.
Together, as a community, we can make change happen.
