Oxford Programme for Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (OPSIS)

The Oxford Programme for Sustainable Infrastructure Systems (OPSIS) provides research and education to enable sustainable and resilient infrastructure. We are at the forefront of methodologies for analysing infrastructure systems (energy, transport, water and telecommunications) and their interactions with the natural environment, people and the economy.

We believe that the choices made about infrastructure, urbanization and land use change are fundamental to the sustainability of the planet and the well-being of all its peoples. We aim to improve decision making by providing evidence and tools to analyse infrastructure systems’ resilience, explore possible futures and plot out pathways to sustainability.
