The SUNRISE Project:
Inspiring student sustainability research

This book tells the story of the SUNRISE project, a British Council–funded collaboration between Bournemouth University and Universiti Sains Malaysia that focused on student engagement with the sustainability agenda, hybrid cross-cultural learning, and the power of sustainability research to connect people, places, and purpose. It captures the journey, celebrates the people involved, and showcases some of the remarkable work done along the way— serving as both a reflection on what we have accomplished and an inspiration for what is still to come.
