Materials and Sustainable Systems works as a collective to develop a large network of researchers, designers, and innovators who share our vision for a sustainable future. Our community is an extension of the Material Library at the University of Bergen, Faculty of Fine Art, Music, and Design. In addition to existing as a resource for practitioners in sustainability, our team has created a Podcast series that investigates one theme per semester. As a growing resource, we plan to provide the public with notable discoveries and technologies that address issues related to the current climate crisis.
