The South American Institute for Resilience and
Sustainability Studies (SARAS2) is an emerging
transdisciplinary institute designed to generate critical insights
allowing South America to build sustainable futures. It seeks
integration across a broad range of knowledge using innovative
approaches and integrating social and natural sciences,
mathematics and arts.
The SARAS2 Institute is a joint initiative of Wageningen University
(Netherlands), University of the Republic - UdelaR (Uruguay),
Resilience Alliance (International network located in New York),
Ministry of Education and Culture (Uruguay) and Municipality of
Maldonado (Uruguay).
SARAS2 maintains permanent links with:

+ National Patagonian Centre - CONICET (Argentina)
+ Earth System Governance - University of Brasilia (Brazil)
+ Eastern Region University Centre - CURE
+ Sciences Faculty and Interdisciplinary Space; these last three institutions

SARAS2 counts on the institutional and financial support of the
Uruguayan State (Ministry of Education and Culture and Municipality
of Maldonado). It is a regional centre and draws on a strong
cooperation with the scientific community of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile, among others.
It has also established close links with cooperation and funding
agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Ibero-
American Programme for Science, Technology and Development
(CYTED), the Pew Research Center, and the Interdisciplinary Space
