The partner universities of the Joint International Master in Sustainable Development are pleased to announce its 2026 webinar series “Approaches to Sustainable Development” taking place in October and November 2026.
In this webinar series, speakers from the partner universities will discuss different approaches to sustainable development. The webinars are organised specifically for the students of the 2026 generation who start the Joint International Master in Sustainable Development this winter semester 2026/27 at the universities of Graz, Leipzig and Venice.
As a participant, students will:
- get a brief insight into the different perspectives on sustainable development presented in the programme
- have the opportunity to discuss sustainability topics with experts from different backgrounds
- get to know students from the partner universities of the same generation, and work with them in small group exercises.
Students are asked to attend the webinars from a quiet place where they can be fully present, both for the speakers' inputs and the discussions with their colleagues.
