ISEG Sustainability’s Post

Whenever we talk about communicating and disseminating project results, we refer to activities intended to ensure that results are appropriately recognised, proven, and implemented on a wide scale to ensure the sustainability of the project. There are a few objectives to the WP 7 Communications, Dissemination and Sustainability Plan led by acceleration partner, @Momentum. The Accelerate Future HEI project aims to transform HEIs, helping them amplify their capabilities and realise their potential to drive knowledge and innovation. By reinforcing HEIs' role as drivers of regional and European ecosystems, we support shared objectives between the EU and Member States’ initiatives, ultimately transforming HEIs' activities and service to society missions.

💡 What if innovation wasn't just about the next big thing, but about the right thing? That's why at Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) Canopy (CISL) we developed the new course: 🌱 Sustainability Innovation Strategy for Businesses and Entrepreneurs So what's in it? 1. It's Not Just About "Adding On" Sustainability: Most innovation courses focus on creating the "next big thing." This course dives deeper, exploring how to embed sustainability into the DNA of your innovation process. It's about moving beyond simply "greening" existing products and services, and instead, fundamentally rethinking how your business operates to create positive change. 2. A Systems-Thinking Approach: We go beyond isolated solutions. This course equips you with systems thinking tools to understand the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic challenges. You'll learn to identify leverage points for systemic change and develop solutions that address root causes, not just symptoms. On this, we featured a special interview with @William McDonough, architect, designer, thought leader, author and originator of the Cradle to Cradle concept. 3. Led By Experts Who Walk the Talk: This course is developed by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) Chief Innovation Officer James Cole and a dedicated Canopy (CISL) team (Sam Laakkonen Viola Jardon Zoë Loughlin) who brought in real-world experience from working with global businesses and entrepreneurs to drive impactful change. The course is packed with examples, tools, insights that shared by our amazing contributors from all over the world Håkan Nordkvist Kanini Mutooni Alison Fort Dominic Vergine 4.

#CREACT4MED IV Regional Alumni Network Event: Creative Minds, Sustainable Futures - Fostering SDGs through CCI Entrepreneurship in the Mediterranean. On Thursday 4th July, 11:00-12:30 CET via Zoom, CREACT4MED is holding its fourth regional alumni network event on the crucial topic of the Sustainable Development Goals #SGDs and how they connect to #entrepreneurship in the #cultural and #creative industries in the Mediterranean. The Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) play a pivotal role in the Mediterranean region's social, economic, and cultural fabric. This diverse industry includes art, design, film, music, literature, crafts, and more. Given their societal impact, CCI actors have the potential to significantly contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As part of CREACT4MED’S Regional Alumni Event series, this webinar aims to explore how CCI entrepreneurs can align their projects with SDGs to foster sustainability and make a positive impact on their environments. In this session, led by Maya Karkour, Environmental & Circular Economy Specialist at EcoConsulting - UK & Lebanon , we will discuss the relevance of aligning cultural entrepreneurial projects with Sustainable Development Goals, both from an environmental, social, as well as an economic perspective. With a focus on the #circulareconomy, the session will explore the ways in which entrepreneurs can integrate this strategy effectively into their projects and provide practical guidance on how to do so. Illustrated through success stories and best practices, by the end of the webinar, participants will have a deeper understanding the importance of SDGs to CCI, gain knowledge on the benefits of the circular economy, and learn how to incorporate sustainable practices into their projects. Join us to learn, share, and grow your impact in the cultural and creative sector, contributing to a sustainable future. This event is organised by the European Institute of the Mediterranean- IEMed. #CREACT4MED is a project funded by the European Union. It is coordinated by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association - EMEA. Event registration: https://lnkd.in/d5-TRTVH  For more info: https://lnkd.in/dxjydgkd
