The South American Institute for Resilience and Sustainability Studies (SARAS) is an interdisciplinary research institute aimed at contributing substantially to the production of knowledge and capacity building in processes and mechanisms that determine the sustainability of ecosystem services, key to determining human well-being.
SARAS was designed to generate critical insights allowing South America to build sustainable futures. It seeks integration across a broad range of innovative approaches, combining disciplinary domains (social, natural and exact sciences), different sources of knowledge, and art-science interactions.
SARAS organizes a series of annual symposia with prominent scientists, artists, and scholars on resilience and sustainability issues, including natural science, social science, and humanities. The symposia include discussion workshops and a series of public lectures. The symposia also aim at creating networks that will endure over time. Until 2022, the symposia were:
