Thinking outside the square (and the rhombus)
The Institute of Innovation, Science & Sustainability (IISS) is all about new ideas. Breakthroughs. Inventing new products and new ways of doing things. You’ve got an inquisitive mind – that’s why you’ve joined us. We’ll help you find answers and grow your knowledge. We’ll also send you out into the field to get hands-on experience in your chosen discipline, whether that’s engineering, science, IT or business.
IISS nurtures your curiosity. IISS is your institute.
