The core task of Gothenburg Centre for Sustainable Development (GMV) is to facilitate cooperation with the aim to generate and practically implement knowledge about sustainable development.
GMV create meeting places and bring together different types of expertise in order to promote sustainable development within research, education and cooperation.
The projects, networks and initiatives of GMV bring together a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of expertise. Our ambition is to create meeting places, both for researchers from various disciplines within the universities and also for academia, business, authorities and civil society.

GMV will be merged into a new West Swedish arena, which will start operations in the beginning of 2024. Three universities: Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg and University West are now expanding their collaboration by forming a West Swedish arena for sustainable development in collaboration with Region Västra Götaland. The arena is intended to promote the use of knowledge for transitioning to a sustainable society by facilitating collaboration and creating partnerships between academia and other societal actors.
