The UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Impact Hub at the Club of Rome explores how the role of research can be reframed to better align with society and nature. The Club of Rome is currently the only non-academic hub of the coalition and looks to investigate how transdisciplinary models of thinking and community-driven research can be incorporated into the academic research paradigm.
The Southern African Hub of the UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition is anchored at the Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship on the main campus of the University of Pretoria. The Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship is a transdisciplinary research entity, founded with the intention to host projects that emphasize multi- and trans-disciplinary inquiry on topics of social, economic and environmental importance.
Together the CUNY Human Ecodynamics Research Center (HERC) and the Princeton University Climate Change and History Research Initiative (CCHRI) lead our UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Thematic Hub, CUNY-Princeton, devoted to Past Socio-Environmental Change and Resilience.
BRIDGES is a prioritised programme within UNESCO’s Management of Social Transformations section, championing community-anchored and humanities-driven sustainability science, fostering a fully transdisciplinary approach to sustainable development research.
The UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES Coalition UK Hub is based at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD), recognised for its world-leading and internationally excellent research. UWTSD is driven by its mission to transform lives through education, with a commitment to the well-being and heritage of the nation at its heart.
