The University of Bristol's student-led sustainability think tank.
Real problems.
Real research.
Real impact.
Bristol–Bath metro feasibility
A feasibility study of the corridor, alongside a review of why every previous scheme failed to get built.
B-Corp certification research
A Bristol firm assessed against the B Corp Impact Assessment, with the gaps mapped into a readiness roadmap.
Herefordshire flooding
Flood risk and resilience in the county's catchments, scoped with a partner for the current batch.
Real work, not case competitions.
We take live sustainability problems, put interdisciplinary student teams — engineering, finance, policy, design, sciences — onto them with real organisations, and publish the results. One defined question, one team, one deliverable someone outside the university uses.
Every engagement, in full.
Scope, team, method and outcome for each project we run — including the briefs currently open with partners.
Research & writing.
Project reports are prepared for publication; between them, the work is written up as essays.
Project reports
Full reports from the B-Corp certification research and the Bristol–Bath metro feasibility study.
The SIS Substack
Essays from our teams on the work as it happens — what certification actually takes, what community-led change looks like in Bristol.
Students who mean it.
Membership runs through Bristol SU. No consulting experience needed — teams form when a batch opens, and every discipline has a place on one.
