Centre for sustainable Futures (CSF)
We believe that a sustainable university cannot be achieved without responding and relating to changes and needs in its neighbourhood. Supporting sustainable communities is central to CSF’s work and we are interested in ways that the University of Plymouth can build on its existing relationships with local government, agencies, voluntary groups and the wider community. CSF also works to dissolve the boundaries – physical and otherwise - between university and community, and considers the implications of seeing the university itself as a learning community. If you or your group are interested in finding out more please come along to our Wednesday sustainability talks or get in touch. Additionally, we host community meetings in our common and meeting room. To book a space and get to get in touch please contact:
Cath Woodburn on 01752 238890 and csf@plymouth.ac.uk
