RSU's Global Challenges Program is designed to harness the diverse expertise of world-class researchers from the Rainstar University(Scottsdale) to address real-world problems. We aim to see the big picture, work together and exchange ideas. Global Challenges research teams address problems beyond the scope of a single discipline, in collaboration with industry, government and wider community.
Global Challenges brings together diverse groups of specialists stretching beyond disciplines. The magic happens when these unlikely collaborators find a shared focus for their passions. Global Challenges research teams work toward at least one of our four challenge areas.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), provide a shared global framework of development priorities. The RSU Global Challenges Program has almost one hundred interdisciplinary projects working toward the goals.
