We are a community of researchers delivering world-class research in sustainability that pushes boundaries among disciplines. We solve challenges using a wide-angle, whole-systems approach, complemented by a depth of scientific understanding, and build partnerships that help us keep our focus on real-world problems.
Explore our multidisciplinary research across three core themes: Sustainable Chemical Technologies, Sustainable Systems and Social Transformations. These pillars drive our mission to tackle global challenges and create a greener, equitable future for all.
The Institute's most recent highlights.
A new method for chemically recycling acrylic uses less energy and non-toxic solvents without reducing quality, so plastics can be recycled again and again.
New drug discovery technology harnesses bacteria to do the hard work of medicinal chemistry by creating drug candidates and testing them inside living cells.
Salons can be influential in prompting climate conversations - research.
Communities in Colombia, Indonesia and the USA’s Gulf Coast threatened by climate disasters will develop resilient, regenerative new buildings with researchers.
Scientists at Bath have developed a new photocatalyst that uses sunlight to degrade PFAS, a group of chemicals that don't break down naturally.
Experts in industrial ecology, climate engagement, and green chemistry strengthen ISCC’s multidisciplinary research and real-world impact.
Our aim is to deliver novel chemical technologies and robust behavioural solutions, brought together through whole system evaluation, to reframe problems and create transformative innovation in sustainability and climate change.
