Mobility opportunities

Are you ready to meet the sustainability challenges that Europe will face in the 21st century? In „Challenges in Europe,” students select from a range of topics, each of them linked to a specific Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), to examine case studies with 4-5 fellow students from different Aurora universities and to develop their own research project under the supervision of an instructor. Students and instructors will then meet up physically for a conference in Amsterdam in June 2024 to present their ideas for a more sustainable Europe.

Learning Outcomes: Depending on the topic they have chosen, students can identify relevant theoretical models of and explain multiple different viewpoints on the challenge at hand. Students can list potential solutions to the challenge at hand and explain their advantages and disadvantages compared to other solutions. Students can discuss these findings in the shape of an oral presentations and a research paper.
