Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies
Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies mission
To develop systems and technologies that will sustain ecosystems, facilitate social and economic development while optimising the use of natural resources, minimising waste, emissions and other environmental consequences and reducing cost.
By fulfilling this mission ISST aims to become an internationally recognised powerhouse of sustainability research. The conceptual and technological advances generated by ISST will help South Australia become a national/international leader in sustainable development and will stimulate growth of industries that will export South Australian sustainability technology, products and expertise.
ISSTs internationally recognised research team is driven by the shared belief that:
"Humanity has the
ability to make development sustainable--to ensure that it meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs."
