Sustainable Futures: Politics, Democracy, and Futuring

Faculty of Geosciences (UU)

What we do in the present is profoundly influenced by our expectations of our futures. During this oneweek course we teach students to appreciate different pathways to sustainability. How can we realize societal transformations towards sustainability, to living well equitably within ecological means? What does a sustainable world look like? In what type of sustainable future would you want to live? How can we prepare and collaboratively create a sustainable world? In the Sustainable Futures summer school, these are central questions. We will address them using futuring, a novel approach to future-making pioneered by the Urban Futures Studio.

Reviewing Internationalisation: Open to Global Change?

Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance (UU)

The course takes a higher education, international relations, legal, and public policy perspective and combines theory with workshops, case studies and active team work. It is indispensable for researchers who wish to enhance the focus and scope of their research and for practitioners and policy makers involved in university (re-)strategizing. The dialogue between these different actors, coming from a broad range of countries, has proven highly valuable in previous versions of this course.
