2. Mission Produce innovative engineering and design solutions and intellectual capacity that enable us to protect and nurture Earth and its’ inhabitants to meet the needs of current and future generations.

3. Goals 1. To catalyze interdisciplinary and inter- institutional research that provides solutions to local and global sustainability challenges. 2. To inform and advance policies in support of governments, industry and other organizations, to advance development, particularly as relating to engineered and designed systems. 3. To educate current and future generations of engineers, urban planners and architects to be leaders in sustainability in their professions. 4. To create and participate in forums for sustainability by engaging the university community, decision-makers and the public in critical thinking and action.

4. A key partner IET’s mission is to train a new generation of engineers, scientists and innovators who have a systemic understanding of the issues surrounding the future of energy and of the technologies available to tackle the challenges society will face in the coming decades. One of our key partners is the Institut de l'énergie Trottier (IET) at Polytechnique Montréal
