Challenges – the first of three days
Sustainability Day: Challenges is the first of three days for all programme students. The following days take place during your second and third year of study and will focus on Responsibility and Solutions respectively.
Customize your day
Sustainability Day: Challenges is organized as a conference where you participate in a joint session before lunch and then choose freely between different sessions in the afternoon. Global inequality, antibiotic resistance and dirty pharmaceutical production, AI and anti-corruption are examples of themes of the day.
Sustainability Day: Challenges
Your first Sustainability Day in the program is a day focusing on global challenges for sustainable societal development. The day begins with a lecture and conversation between researchers from different disciplines where the central question is; What will it take to move from words to action and create the sustainable transition required to reach the global sustainability goals that the world's countries agreed on back in 2015? Is it possible to tackle poverty, climate change, natural resource issues, issues of equality and economic development all at the same time? During the day, you will get to listen to several lecturers who will give you an insight and understanding of these challenges and why they are relevant to you in your future professional role.
At the School of Business, Economics and Law we twist and turn the challenges of the future and discuss solutions to the global sustainability goals in research, education and together with our partner companies, public organizations and international partners. Today, perhaps more than ever before, knowledge and understanding of social, ecological and economic sustainability issues are required, both in private and public sector. These questions about the future are taking a larger place in our research and in our education. Therefore, we find it central that by the time you graduate, we want you to have sufficient knowledge and tools to be able to handle issues on ethics, social responsibility and the environment in your professional life.
