European Networks
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.
Hub-Exchange between Higher Education Networks for Sustainability in Europe
In 2023, the Copernicus Alliance and the DG HochN have started an informal exchange with coordinators of European and International networks to share knowledge and address common challenges. In this site, you will find some information on this network and the tools and resources developed by our partners.
