Education

We foster inquiry-based learning and the development of the capacity to draw on insights and methods from diverse disciplines to develop improved problem-solving approaches.

1. Multidisciplinarity:

To create opportunities for learning of diverse disciplines we have developed a new category of ‘Open Courses’ that are of general interest, have diverse disciplinary roots, and are open to students from any degree programme at any level.

> More information: Multidisciplinarity: Open courses

2. Interdisciplinarity:

To create opportunities for learning to actively draw on diverse disciplines for problem solving develop Open Cross-Faculty Courses that are not associated with a specific degree programme that provide tools for understanding and acting in the face of complex challenges of sustainable development.

> More information: Cross-Faculty course on "Science and citizens meet challenges of sustainability"

3. Connecting education and practice :

To create opportunities for linking learning about sustainable development with practical experience we offer a range of internships and research opportunities that are organized in conjunction with our Cross-Faculty Courses . All internships and research projects aim to build capacities for effective practice including to collaborate with others across differences and to manage the complexity and uncertainty of real challenges.
