EU4TRANSITION: European University for Transition
- Period: November 2020 – September 2023
- Status: completed
This European research project focuses on a new type of university (the university of the future) in which philosophy and ecology are central. The aim is to stimulate interdisciplinary research and education, in which practice and theory are closely linked.
Description
The project develops a holistic and humanistic curriculum for transition universities in Europe. The modules developed are also offered as non-academic training courses to volunteers, professionals, managers and policymakers.
