The programme offers a transdisciplinary approach to tackling urgent environmental challenges. Designed for students from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, this programme goes beyond traditional learning. On your path to becoming a change agent, you will learn how to integrate governance and environmental science perspectives and to collaborate with non-academic actors. This will enable you to co-create solutions to real-world sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, water management, and circular economy. 

In addition, we will provide you with the skills to integrate different scientific disciplines as well as the knowledge of non-academic actors to bridge the gap between science, policy, and practice.   

 

Do you want to become a change agent, driving systemic transformation towards sustainable development? Do you want to learn how to bridge scientific disciplines, and become an intermediary between policy actors, the private sector, scientific experts and citizens? Are you keen to collaborate with diverse stakeholders, to design and implement governance solutions that address complex, interconnected sustainability challenges? Are you excited at the prospect of studying and working together with students coming from different disciplinary and cultural backgrounds? Then our Governance of Sustainability programme is designed just for you.
