Societal Impact Hub West
The university's collaboration platform for complex societal challenges.
For a sustainable world
We integrate sustainability into our education and research, but also into the development of our campus and our work processes. Sustainable development is also a central part of our partnerships and collaborative projects.
The university's vision
"We act and work together with society to create a more sustainable world. Together with a wide range of partners we create knowledge and strive to make it more accessible."
To achieve the vision, the university works broadly to integrate sustainability with a particular focus on a number of areas:
- Education and research
- Equal terms and gender mainstreaming
- Business travels
- Consumption and resource use
- Waste and material use
- Operational electricity
- Climate change
2030 Agenda
Agenda 2030 and the UN's global goals are important starting points for the university's sustainability work. Through our education, our research and collaboration, the university contributes to the development of knowledge in support of the global goals.
