The Sustainable Earth Office (SEO) aspires to make sustainability sustainable at NTU. And sustainability in research, education, collaborative projects, commercialisation, and outreach will thrive and endure if undertaken voluntarily by coalitions of the willing, enthusiastic, and most capable within a supportive administrative and departmental environment. The moral authority for our sustainability programming and efforts comes through the creation of cooperation, consensus, and a sense of shared mission among out departments, divisions, administrative offices, students, and residents. As such, the SEO is not building a new centre, and not trying to replace or duplicate NTU’s substantial multidisciplinary and administrative capacities.
