The challenge

LEARN ABOUT THE SERVICES OF THE IIRA

The challenges that the Institute faces are complex. The collaborative impact of the IIRA is of paramount importance to the viability of the Institute as an interdisciplinary body. Research innovation is essential to ensure that the Institute is not limited to one mode to address the Anthropocene; whether it is from a solely human, limited national horizon, or a perspective that does not take into account the globality of the Anthropocene.
