Abstract

The first of its kind in UK Higher Education, and winner of the 2020 International Green Gown Award for Student Engagement (in a large institution) and the AASHE Campus Sustainability Research Award, the University of Strathclyde‚ Vertically Integrated Projects for Sustainable Development (VIP4SD) programme offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work together on interdisciplinary and credit bearing research projects. The VIP4SD programme utilises our unique access to the talent, enthusiasm and optimism of our undergraduate students to engage them in real-world research projects. In the words of Sir Jonathan Porritt, through this work they are not only preparing for the world of work, but the work of the world.
