Interdisciplinary knowledge and solutions

The opening of the Centre for Global Sustainability took place at campus downtown (Domus Bibliotheca) on June 2^nd and was a major happening. Four keynotes from different fields of sustainability were presented. Dag Hessen presented for the natural sciences, focussing the CBA activities.

The Centre will act as a cross-disciplinary faculty, fostering "Interdisciplinary knowledge and solutions for a sustainable and fair future". Currently there are four main thematic areas:

Health, climate and environment
Knowledge, technology and trust
Democracy, governance and social justice
Energy, food and resources

There is a wish and demand for groups and activities from the natural sciences, and CBA-related activities will fit nicely in.
