Sustainability Institute and Forum (SIF)
Mission
The Sustainability Institute & Forum at Reykjavik University is dedicated to advancing research and education in sustainable development, with a strong foundation in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As an institute that engages all departments at RU, SIF fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration and maintains a dual impact, both within academia and in society. Through strategic partnerships with key sponsors, SIF supports and funds high-quality research projects, ensuring a transparent selection process and responsible allocation of resources.
*Despite the inclusion of the term “Institute” in its title, the Sustainability Institute and Forum (SIF) does not constitute an entity that provides internships, research appointments, or external positions of any kind. Rather, SIF serves as an internal framework established and administered by faculty members of Reykjavík University, applied exclusively for internal academic and institutional purposes.
