Course description

This course provides an examination of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a holistic and comprehensive framework for addressing global challenges through research and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Sustainability is not the domain of a single discipline and can be approached from a variety of perspectives, including economics, the arts, law, health sciences, environmental studies and humanities. 

The course focuses on the integration of sustainability principles into scholarly research. Through a series of lectures, doctoral students will be able to connect their research with the broader context of sustainable development, gaining a deeper understanding of their work's potential for real impact in contributing to SDG achievement.

Live online introductory session: 23 February 2026, 13:00–14:00 CET.

Online self-study (10 hours): 23 February–6 March 2026.
