With Pitt Space, we are organizing, magnifying, and expanding activities across campus in terms of three core areas of strength – space engineering, space biomedicine, and space science. These areas are working individually and collectively to make Pitt into a leading US space university.
A multidisciplinary center at the University of Pittsburgh, bringing together researchers from various departments to foster cross-disciplinary projects on Climate Change and serve as a climate knowledge resource for the greater Pittsburgh area.
We connect universities, local governments, non-profits, and community groups to align regional efforts in water research, governance, and action, ensuring accessible data and expertise, responsive research, and well-prepared students to address real-world challenges.
