We are looking for change agents! Are you curious and want to work on sustainable solutions in a cross-disciplinary Nordic Baltic team? Take the chance and apply for the project (3-5 ECTS) which will conclude with an intensive week in Åland Islands in April 2025!
The idea:
Students will team up in cross-disciplinary and cross-national teams to work with challenges for a client in Åland Islands in April 2025. On the way you will learn both theory and practice as well as learn how to use selected tools for problem solving and solutions.
The focus is on sustainability, and we address the importance of all pillars of sustainability in the solutions. Environmental initiatives will however be to core focus when selecting the challenges and partners in the region. The project addresses the urgent need in business and social environments for a change towards green and sustainable development.
Partners: Arcada UAS, Copenhagen Business Academy, Högskolan i Kristiania, Högskolan i Skövde, Högskolan på Åland, Kaunas UAS, Metropolia UAS, TTK UAS, UCL University College, University of Akureyri and Vidzeme UAS
