The second European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR) Board meeting took place at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, on 10 September 2019. Eight members attending the appointment discussed current ESSSR activities.
The topics on the agenda of the meeting included the planned online Master degree in Sustainable Development Goals Implementation (MSDGI, which will consist of 8 modules, a research project focusing on a specific SDGI issue and Exit Awards – post grad certificate after four modules, post grad diploma after 8 modules), publications by ESSSR members, grants and joint calls, as well as virtual seminars and summer schools for possible collaboration among members, and the communication strategy for ESSSR.
Mark Mifsud from the Centre of Environmental Education and Research of the University of Malta is leading the discussions on the setting up of the new Pan European Master Degree. ESSSR is an inter-university consortium composed by members which share an interest on sustainability science and on matters related to sustainable development. It is a key organisation, filling in a gap in respect of the coordination of sustainability science teaching and research at European universities seen today.
