Real Problems, Transformative Responses: Preparing Students to Contribute to Sustainable Futures
Starting autumn 2026, UiT is launching a mandatory joint course for all master’s students across disciplines. Through facilitated interdisciplinary teamwork, students will collaboratively develop actions to address actual sustainability challenges provided by Northern Norwegian businesses and the public sector. This is how we aim to equip the next generation with the capacities required to drive innovation and advance transformative change in today's complex sustainability crises.
Join us at the Innovation breakfast to hear more about the development of the course and ask questions.
