RMIT Regenerative Futures Institute

We use knowledge from different fields and bring together researchers, educators, industry experts, and communities to go beyond just reacting to global challenges - we aim to create lasting solutions that make a real difference. As a globally connected university, we combine local insights with international partnerships to speed up progress and make meaningful change.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are custodians of unique knowledges and practices that prioritise culture, community and place. We put Indigenous Knowledges at the heart of our pursuit of regenerative futures. We tackle big problems like climate change and inequality with proactive solutions.

Whether it’s advancing innovation, strengthening communities, exchanging knowledge, or inspiring transformation - everyone has a meaningful role in shaping our collective future.

The Institute will build on RMIT’s extensive global network and partnerships and reputation for tackling complex issues like climate change and inequality, with proactive solutions. 

From early 2026, we will offer interdisciplinary short courses, an undergraduate minor, and a series of thought leadership events focussed on regenerative practices and sustainability innovation. These will give industry, government and the public access to vital knowledge for shaping a regenerative and just future.

We are also developing an interdisciplinary research strategy that will amplify our impact in response to complex global social, economic and environmental issues.
