The Winter Institute is an annual collaboration between ANU, the University of Tokyo, New York University and the University of Bonn. The Institute involves a 3-day seminar program on an interdisciplinary theme. The program involves keynote lectures, faculty papers and graduate student presentations including crossdisciplinary questioning. The Institute also includes social and networking events for delegates.

In light of the multiple crises we face, systemic changes in the way our societies operate towards greater sustainability are needed to ensure that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainability is not just about the environment, but also includes social and economic dimensions, making efforts to move towards greater sustainability an inherently interdisciplinary undertaking. This workshop aims to provide an interactive platform for early-career researchers across diverse fields to present, discuss, network, and deepen their ideas on the transformative role of interdisciplinary research for sustainability transitions. The workshop will explore how to translate academic knowledge across disciplines into actionable insights for a transition towards greater sustainability.
