Sustainability and Climate Change
Empowering learners to drive sustainable change through research-driven education and innovation
This Hub is Aurora’s research-driven platform dedicated to driving societal transformation in the fields of Sustainability & Climate Change. It serves as a transdisciplinary platform linking education and research to tackle climate change and sustainability challenges in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The hub creates flexible, learner-centered pathways that give learners a holistic understanding of complex societal problems across ecosystems, enabling them to act as « change makers ».
Learning offers are research-driven and often challenge-based, with innovative formats like micro-credentials, collaborative courses, and service-learning projects. Learners can tailor their education to develop key SDG competencies expressed with the help of the Aurora Competence Framework tools – for example, choosing courses and micro-credentials that equip them to contribute to a sustainable future. By integrating cutting-edge research and SDG-aligned content and learning approaches into teaching, the hub empowers Aurora students, as « change makers », with the knowledge, skills, competences and mindset to drive sustainable societal impact across Europe.
