necessary for the sustainability transition visioned by USMAPEX.<br />
• To play the role of a catalyst in facilitating interdisciplinary <strong>and</strong> multidisciplinary<br />
initiatives needed for the promotion of sustainability studies.<br />
• To promote synergy by consciously avoiding duplication, filling gaps <strong>and</strong> promoting<br />
team spirit.<br />
• To carefully profile <strong>and</strong> position the Centre to become a leader in SD/ESD matters<br />
at a variety of levels.<br />
Scope<br />
In the long run, the Centre will be instrumental in mainstreaming SD/ESD at USM. This<br />
involves the informed inclusion of relevant SD concerns into the strategies, policies<br />
<strong>and</strong> rules of USM as an institution <strong>and</strong> applying ESD principles <strong>and</strong> practices to build<br />
capacity for action. The Centre is expected to develop into a major one-stop-shop for<br />
all things SD/ESD at USM.<br />
