With The Prince of Wales Global Sustainability Fellowship Programme, we are building a cohort of leading academics from around the world. They undertake research with the ambition of unlocking the potential of the University to partner with business, government and financial institutions on real-world challenges and opportunities that must be addressed in order to build a sustainable economy.The Programme aims to foster new transdisciplinary thinking on sustainability, leading to practical insights, tools and recommendations for decision-makers to carry into their organisations alongside important advances in fundamental knowledge. From 2022, the Programme will be based at CISL’s new premises; a low carbon, retrofitted building in the centre of Cambridge, which will serve as a vibrant atmosphere for collaborative research.To find out more, please email us or complete our Research funder enquiry form.

HRH The Prince of Wales has agreed that the University can establish the Programme in his name to bring researchers together with influential corporate and policy practitioners across the globe. Launched in July 2018, it represents a public tribute to his leadership in the cause of protecting the environment, promoting healthy communities, and building sound economies around the world.
The Programme brings outstanding individuals into CISL to research its ‘Transformation 2030 Agenda’ in zero carbon, circular economy, protection of nature, inclusive and resilient societies. Each Fellowship develops real-world solutions, encompassing relevance, practicality and research impact to enable private sector action on sustainability. Funding for the Fellowships has been secured through philanthropic donations from visionary companies, foundations and individuals.
