What's the big idea?
In 2008, UO academic and administrative leaders began a conversation about our academic and fundraising priorities. Many initiatives were proposed, and the campus discussion was as valuable as the results.
These five interdisciplinary themes -- "Big Ideas" -- unite professors and students from many different departments to answer important questions. And to solve critical problems facing our region, our nation, and the world. Private gifts will enable the success of these ambitious initiatives.
Big Ideas
Sustainable Cities: How do you plan, build and retrofit cities in sustainable ways targeting the intersection of green buildings, communities, business and policies?
The Americas in a Globalized World: Diversity and internationalization as keys to rethinking the past, present, and future of the hemisphere's populations, cultures, and economies.
Global Oregon: How do we rework liberal education to form not just good citizens, but good citizens of the world?
Human Health & Performance: How do we maintain health and enhance performance in the modern world?
Green Product Design: Integrating materials, product design and business models to supply the world with sustainable products.
