Our University Partners

In 2021, BIOS and Arizona State University (ASU) joined forces to expand ASU’s marine science research and education activities. Through this partnership, BIOS was integrated into the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory.

The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory serves as the cornerstone of ASU’s commitment to sustainability, responsible innovation and shaping a thriving tomorrow for all of Earth’s inhabitants. The Global Futures Laboratory positions a new world headquarters for an international network of scientists, scholars and innovators in Arizona with centers and partnerships across the nation and around the world including this new partnership with BIOS. This positioning allows the Global Futures Laboratory to better understand our relationship with our world, anticipates and responds to urgent challenges, and use innovation to responsibly, ethically and purposefully shape our future.
