It offers a unique program where students tackle sustainability challenges faced by their universities, blending place-making and hackathon methods with intensive theoretical courses. The project's objectives include establishing sustainable problem-solving methods in higher education, enhancing student and teacher competencies, and creating sustainable solutions within the sector.
Work Package 2 delivers sustainability courses for students and teachers.
