About us
What is CSSC?
Center for the Study of Sustainable Community (abbreviated as CSSC; in Indonesian: Pusat Studi Masyarakat Berkelanjutan) is a research center based in Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia. We aim to be a pioneering research and education hub dedicated to promoting sustainable community development, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhancing societal well-being.
Why is it important?
The CSSC serves as a platform to tackle pressing global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, and poverty. These problems may lead to, among others, increasing feelings of social isolation and discrimination, including ageism. By conducting multidisciplinary research, we aim to generate knowledge, insights, and innovative solutions to address these complex issues and promote societal well-being.
