Hub – Exchange Between Higher Education Networks in Europe
Aus DG HochN-Wiki
About the network
Over the past decades, more and more networks have been established that deal with sustainability in higher education. While they address different target groups and have different geographical areas of influence, there are also overlaps and similarities. As of 2023, there was no existing network for managers of European networks for sustainability. Hence, we started an informal exchange to share knowledge and address common challenges.
