Welcome to the Big Sky Institute
The Big Sky Institute (BSI) is an interdisciplinary science, education, and outreach institute that was created by Montana State University and like-minded members of the community to transform the role of science in our society by advancing and communicating objective and relevant place-based science and to increase the understanding and appreciation of the globally significant Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). BSI is the only university-based institute entirely focused on the GYE.
