The R&E team works on interdisciplinary collaboration, educational material, and sustainability-related research projects. We are currently working on building a sustainable, bottom-up research community through our student-run research magazine, as well as our research collaborations. Research and Education activities include our ‘Critical Sustainabilities’ lecture series, which aims to foster critical, systemic approaches to sustainability research and education.  ​

​

The Research & Education portfolio thus holds three main responsibilities: 

​

• Building, and sustaining, an active sustainability research community through fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting any events and developments related to sustainability at the University of Amsterdam

​

• Actively participating in encouraging the integration of sustainability into new programmes as well as reviewing and promoting existing sustainability-related curriculum at the University of Amsterdam

​

• Fostering a culture of research and theory-based approaches to sustainability within the UvA Green Office
