Mandate
The MSSI Graduate & Postdoc Sustainability Research Collective (MSSI Collective) was established in 2020 to create a space for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to discuss their sustainability research, establish connections with one another, and develop as future sustainability researchers, innovators, and leaders. The MSSI Collective is governed by a steering committee, who is responsible for ensuring the execution of the collective's mandate. The MSSI Collective’s mandate is to:
-
Create an interdisciplinary network of graduates and postdocs to share sustainability research and knowledge at McGill
-
Create opportunities for graduates and postdocs to present and communicate their sustainability-related research outside of their disciplines
-
Host sustainability research related events for members of the network
If you are a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow interested in joining the MSSI Collective, please email mssi [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Joining%20the%20MSSI%20Collective) or join the MSSI as student of postdoc member.
