About CUSP
The Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute was established in January 2008, headed by Professor Peter Newman, and based in Fremantle. The idea of “sustainability” in a wide range of human endeavour is a relatively new concept, but is rapidly becoming a key issue in public policy theory and practice. Sustainability Policy is also developing as a recognised profession and a multidisciplinary research field in its own right. CUSP will be a key player in the planned Sustainable Development Institute encompassing a broad range of Curtin research centres and teams involved in sustainability scholarship. It welcomes PhD and Masters by Research students, and is offering a coursework Masters in Sustainability.
