Together the four partner institutes focus on strong research alliances with industrial and government partners and seek to expand education activities in sustainable development. Each partner school has a strong local program - an AGS Focus Center (AFC) - which ensures participation of faculty and staff in AGS-supported research initiatives. The AFCs are autonomous, creating networks with other universities and building support through a local Advisory Board.
