The Community Sustainability Project is made up of many separate yet interconnected projects, situated in locations around Australia and across the world.

The research of these site-based projects is conducted by academic researchers and community-based researchers, in collaboration with government and non-government agencies.

This network of collaborating research and researchers is coordinated through the Globalism Institute, with different Project Managers responsible for overseeing the administrative aspects of all projects on three levels: global, national and local. The Global Project Manager has responsibility for overseeing the administration of all national initiatives. National Project Managers are responsible for coordinating all activities of sites within a country. Research Site Managers are responsible for coordinating all activities at a given location within a country. Many researchers work across both the national and the local.

All this involves working collaboratively with researchers within and allied with the Globalism Institute (Core Researchers), academics from universities at the international sites, government representatives, non-government agencies, community researchers and community members (Collaborating Researchers). For information on any given site, please contact the Research Site Manager, or if one is not named, the National Project Manager for that country. Queries about all other sites should be directed to the Global Project Manager.
