Welcome to ARIES
ARIES is a not-for-profit research and consultancy centre at Macquarie University that exists to assist change for sustainable development. We work with government, businesses and the community, providing a unique mix of research and practical facilitation. Our collaborative and systems-based approaches build capacity in organisations for change towards sustainability.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
