IGSD kicks-off the 2026/7 academic year

IGSD members from across the university came together to review and celebrate the Institute’s achievements in 2025/6 and make and share plans for the year ahead.

The group also began work to form new networks and connections, and survey the current landscape of opportunities and challenges for global sustainable development research.

As well as planning an exciting series of events for IGSD and its Research Themes and Groups, table-based discussions focussed on opportunities and challenges in the external funding environment; building and maintaining international partnerships; translating research into real-world impact; creating synergies with other groups and networks across the university; and further enhancing Sheffield’s reputation as a home of cutting-edge research in global sustainable development.
