All That Yale Is and All That Yale Does
Yale Planetary Solutions (YPS) seeks to drive planetary solutions through all that Yale is, from our students, faculty, staff, and alumni, to our buildings, collections, and campus, and all that Yale does—teaching, learning, researching, building, operating, convening, investing, and leading. To bring all of Yale’s strengths to bear on producing pioneering, scalable solutions, YPS runs signature programs that convene experts from across campus and fund transformative research projects. More programs and projects are being developed and will be launched soon.
Yale Planetary Solutions invites scholars to nominate themselves for one of the 35 Global Future Councils (GFC) for the term beginning March 2025. More information about each council can be found in the council portfolios.
About: Impact! projects will bring together learners from multiple levels and academic backgrounds to form interdisciplinary teams that work to address an identified challenge in a 9-12 month timeframe through new publications, curated exhibits, strategic solutions for community needs, and more.
YPS oversees a competitive seed grant program that seeks to enable pioneering research and initiatives aligned with our mission. To date, it has supported 66 seed grants, representing projects originating from both faculty and staff across the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and nine professional schools. These grants demonstrate the possibilities of high-risk, high-reward ideas, from exploring the connection between air pollution and cardiovascular health to using paint to mitigate urban heat islands through public murals that raise awareness about climate change in communities.
Attend one (or more!) of our upcoming ColLABoratories to help stimulate new interdisciplinary collaborations. Check back this fall for more information.
ColLABoratories are open to the entire campus community and are intended to bring potential collaborators together to explore ideas, form connections, and brainstorm new opportunities in a collegial setting. Thanks to all who participated in the 2024 ColLabs!
