A: Accelerating Discovery to Solve Humanity's Greatest Challenges

Stony Brook is advancing knowledge to solve complex, global challenges and generate impact through evidence-driven inquiry.

As the top public research institution in a powerful and visionary state, Stony Brook has a responsibility to advance knowledge in order to find solutions to complex problems and to generate impact through evidence‑driven inquiry. 

We foster meaningful collaboration across disciplines and leverage strategic partnerships spanning industry, academia, government and non-profits — including with Brookhaven National Laboratory and the New York Climate Exchange. 

We are building prominence in our existing areas of excellence — such as climate resilience, quantum information technology and biomedicine — while cultivating emerging areas where Stony Brook is uniquely positioned to address pressing challenges.
