Science and policy for sustainability

Spotlight on Sustainability webinar series (I)
12 Jun 2025 Online

Register now

12 June, 14:30 – 15:30 CEST

What is the nature of collaboration between researchers, citizens and policy makers when advocating for science-based sustainability policies? And how can universities experience these interactions both within their institutions and with broader society?

Universities have actively engaged in sustainability policy making over the past decade, not only by providing scientific expertise but also by engaging their own communities. In this webinar, participants will explore these dynamics from diverse angles, drawing insights from strategic leaders in science policy and impactful research, as well as experts actively involved in societal outreach.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how universities can amplify their advocacy and strengthen their impact on sustainability policy, along with practical ideas for enhancing science-policy collaboration.

Opening remarks:

  • Maurizio Tira, EUA Board Member, former Rector, University of Brescia

Speakers:

  • Ingeborg Niestroy, Project Coordinator, RIFS, Researcher, KU Leuven
  • Eeva Furman, Secretary General, Finnish National Commission on Sustainable Development, Prime Minister’s Office, Finland
  • Angelo Riccaboni, University of Siena; Chair of PRIMA Foundation, Barcelona

Moderator: Thomas Jørgensen, Director of Policy Coordination and Foresight, EUA

This is the first webinar in a new series as part of EUA’s ‘Spotlight on Sustainability’. Throughout the series, we will explore the latest developments and emerging trends shaping the future of sustainability in higher education from various perspectives.

The webinar series is free of charge and open to anyone interested in sustainability-related topics. Registrations will remain open until the start of each event.
