Why we do what we do

Based on our mission 'Responsible Governance for Sustainable Societies' and our broad vision of management, we pay attention to social trends in our research and education. We enable students, institutions and companies, social actors and governments to play a role in the transformation towards sustainable societies. The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals are closely aligned with this, as are our three faculty themes: sustainable living environment, resilient society and social economy.
