Forward together.

Global challenges span disciplines – and so does our approach. By bringing together the right people – from across academia, government, business and society – we speed up the rate of discovery, develop real-world solutions, and help build a sustainable future. 

The Gund Institute is comprised of 150 faculty Fellows and Affiliates from UVM and leading organizations worldwide, and exceptional students and postdoctoral researchers. We are a leader in integrating the traditional disciplines of natural social sciences, business, health, technology, engineering and the humanities. 

Discovery Drives Action.

Gund research themes echo several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This connects our work to global priorities, increases opportunities to impact policy, and positions our researchers to pursue novel and powerful research questions that accelerate solutions for people and the planet.
