Heading back from the summer school „Transformative Research Unlocked“ of the NEST - Network of Early Career Researchers in Sustainability Transitions & Sustainability Transition Research Network (STRN), I cannot stop wondering how our #future #places of #education and #research will look like, especially if they want to contribute to and support #sustainable #futures. Taking lots of inspirations and motivation from the last few days, I am ready to get started on my next paper. But I also want to keep reminding myself on what is important to me and to reconnect to myself and other human and non-human beings as these are the entities where I get my inspiration and energy from. Thanks to Julia Wittmayer, Derk Loorbach, Jonathan Koehler, Bonno Pel, Marta Garcia, Floor Alkemade, Ying-Syuan (Elaine) Huang, Design Impact Transition (DIT) platform, DRIFT for transition for hosting us. Looking forward to co-creating sustainable futures.

Imagine a world where the experience and energy of young people come together to create a more sustainable future. A world where caring for the environment is not just a duty, but an exciting adventure full of discovery and innovation. ✨ That is why it is crucial for us to work with universities and schools! We want to be at the side of young people in their education, to teach them the importance of making a difference for our planet. 🔮 But that's not all! We believe that their creativity and innovative spirit are the key to building a better tomorrow. That is why we want to listen to their ideas, support them in their projects and give them the opportunity to put their talents into practice.

Experiments in Sustainability – Worth Considering? This is my 9th week of taking time to reflect and post on sustainability matters. Needless to say, consistency is key! However, there is no such thing as perfect weeks. Last week, I struggled to organize my thoughts meaningfully, so I decided to post only once instead of twice… Just sharing – being human after all! But here I am, back in full swing this week, catching up! The other week, I shared some information on how to build green skills. As I mentioned before, I regularly engage with sustainability professionals from various countries and continents, and I am trying to understand how student experiments can work in an emerging market in general, and in South Africa in particular. In the meantime, I have learned more about the Burns model, which is fascinating (#CreditTo Jason Slipp PhD (Candidacy)(Additional resources: https://lnkd.in/dWRHRBbH). While reflecting on the model’s dimensions – content, perspectives, process, and context – I began asking myself how the process and context dimensions relate to students’ daily experiences in their communities, rather than just at a campus. How do we transform lives and change values and beliefs so that young people feel encouraged to take action? How do we enable students to focus on the process and appreciate the value of the experiences it brings with it? How do we provide context in a country where students come from such diverse backgrounds and communities? While digital tools might be helpful in this, issues of affordability and accessibility remain. Could a situation like this be used to introduce a relationship thread as part of the content dimension? How do we create deep, meaningful connections? Interestingly, my son recently participated in a science week at school and was involved in a poetry slam. It got me thinking: How do we present science in a way that resonates with hearts and minds? Could this be an experiment for sustainability in higher education as well? Here are some resources that explore this further: https://lnkd.in/dyKuPBCp; https://lnkd.in/dZQBxw_u; https://lnkd.in/dNXNF8GS). I would love to hear your thoughts!

📰 Discover how universities like NYU Tandon School of Engineering are leading the charge in fostering #innovation and addressing societal challenges by supporting student innovation, collaborating with the broader community, and orchestrating an inclusive ecosystem through the link below. The article by Anne-Laure Fayard and Martina Mendola, PhD also mentions the Urban Future Lab / NYU Tandon Future Labs and how our work plays a crucial role in #ecosystem engagement. 🔍 While calls for cross-sector collaborations to tackle complex societal issues abound, in practice, only a few succeed. Those that do often have a collaboration intermediary like UFL, which can bring together different actors, develop relationships among key #stakeholders, and create a #community to support ideas over time. 📚 With their strengths in knowledge creation and their role as community anchors, #universities are ideally equipped to create and orchestrate support for the kind of #creative #thinking that the #sustainability imperative requires. #research #climatesolutions #socialimpact #climatetech #features #crosssectorcollaboration #NYUTandonMade #UFLInnovatesForClimate

Sustainability rankings for universities have gained significant attention in recent years. They measure a university’s efforts toward building a more sustainable future through research, teaching, campus operations, and community engagement. But here’s the question: Do these rankings truly reflect meaningful progress, or are they just a numbers game? • Impact vs. Metrics: Are universities focusing on long-term societal impact, or are they optimizing for ranking criteria? • Transparency: How reliable are the metrics used? Are they universally applicable or region-specific? • Student Perspective: Do these rankings influence where students choose to study, or are they more about institutional branding? In a world where climate change and sustainability are pressing issues, universities should strive to lead by example. But is being ranked higher in sustainability enough? Or should we evaluate their actual contributions to solving real-world problems? 💬 What do you think? • Are sustainability rankings helpful or overhyped? • What actions should universities take beyond just improving their rank? #Sustainability #UniversityRankings #HigherEducation #FutureLeaders #ImpactOverRankings #Rectors #Ranking #Worldranking #TimeRankings

It is so exciting to see how universities across the world are taking on board the need to rethink the way they generate knowledge and ensure it makes real impact. The Social Innovation Support Units we set up as part of our Latin American and Southeast Asian Social Innovation Networks proved that there was a real need - and opportunity - to rethink the role of universities in society. the Cascade Foundation is taking this further and looking specifically at the implications of this in international education.
#Universities have the potential to drive meaningful societal and ecological transformations. However, to truly address 21st-century global challenges, such as climate change and persistent inequities, a radical shift in how these institutions operate is essential. We invite you to join us in exploring how universities can lead these transformations. McGill Sustainability Systems Initiative (MSSI) and @the Leadership and Learning for Sustainability Lab are co-hosting a Lunch & Learn seminar titled "Transforming Universities for Just and Sustainable Futures" In this public seminar, Dr. Julia Wittmayer, Associate Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and Senior Researcher at DRIFT for transition, will guide us through an exploration of: - The role of universities in fostering sustainability and justice - Barriers to inter- and trans-disciplinary collaboration and community engagement - Lessons from Design Impact Transition (DIT) platform, an institutional experimentation piloting the mainstreaming of transformative research and education at EUR 📍 Location: McGill University, Downtown Campus 📅 Date: Wednesday, September 25, 2024 ⏰ Time: 12:00 to13:00 🍕 Pizza will be served, and the event is open to the public. 📋 Registration is required: https://shorturl.at/rvFNi This seminar is jointly organized by Evan Henry Larissa Jarvis Blane Harvey Sophia Richardson. We look forward to seeing you there! #UniversityTransformation #SustainableFutures #InterdisciplinaryCollaboration #HigherEd #SocietalTransitions #JustFutures McGill Office of Sustainability Office of Sustainability, Concordia University
