Overview

Goal

<aside> 💭 The Sustainability and U-learning Research Intersections (SURI) is a transdisciplinary virtual laboratory wherein UPOU faculty members, researchers, students and partner organizations collaborate and conduct research on sustainability, ubiquitous learning and the intersections between the two.

The virtual laboratory is a hub of research ideas and concepts.

• Researchers post student project ideas and concepts- students identify projects of interest and link with team of supervisors
• Journal paper ideas are posted and researchers
• Grant ideas and funding calls are shared and researcher link together to develop applications </aside>

<aside> 💡 SURI’s interest is to investigate how ubiquitous learning empowers people to make informed decisions and responsible actions towards a sustainable future.
