University launches joint sustainability lab with Zhejiang University

November 22, 2021

Designed to promote multidisciplinary research in sustainable development, researchers will look at developing solutions to global problems such as environmental pollution remediation, ecosystem restoration, renewable and clean energy and ‘big data’ science. The Sydney arm will incorporate expertise in complex systems, computer engineering and resources and environmental data science, led by School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering researcher Professor Jun Huang. Both universities have been in a strategic partnership since 2018, when they set up a joint seed funding scheme to support new collaborative research projects. Professor Belov said she hoped the enhanced partnership would address major global problems and work towards the UN 2030 Agenda. “Global problems require global solutions – working alongside our colleagues in China, our researchers will be finding and developing solutions to some of the biggest issues of our time."

The MOU ceremony was held over Zoom.
