History of MAINECAN

MAINECAN is supported by the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for
Sustainability Solutions

For the last decade, the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions has been a leader in launching and supporting partnerships in which interdisciplinary teams of students and faculty from universities and colleges throughout the state collaborate with diverse stakeholders to tackle and help find solutions to a wide range of urgent sustainability challenges that directly benefit Maine and other regions.

The Mitchell Center has supported the creation of MAINECAN in many ways, including administratively, financially, and advisory, and continues to serve as the “hub” of MAINECAN’s support personnel.
