Sustainability in Action Form

Submit information about your experiential sustainability project or research below to be included in the Sustainability in Action Database

Ohio State fosters project-based learning opportunities and applied research to advance sustainability knowledge in practice, including on and around its diverse properties, with its external partners, or anywhere you can find a Buckeye.

To help coordinate, promote and empower these efforts, the Sustainability Institute facilitates collaboration with academic units and university partners to track and enhance the wide range of project-based sustainability learning and applied research activities that occur inside and outside of the classroom environment, including those that use our campus facilities as a living lab.

Campus as a Living Lab: Ohio State leverages our properties and buildings to serve as a learning lab for sustainability research, innovation and learning and to shape new solutions by providing a test bed for applying and scaling research.

Partnering for Learning: In collaboration with local municipalities to global industry leaders, Ohio State's students, faculty, and staff address sustainability challenges at a variety of scales through project-based learning.

Check out projects and research that others have submitted in our database.
