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.

A project to redefine the mission for GMV has been ongoing since October 2021. The President at Chalmers and the Vice-chancellor at University of Gothenburg decided at that point to start a process with the aim of developing GMV's role and function. The aim is to be able to carry out a more well-defined collaborative task. A clearer assignment is now being developed by the project group together with the steering group in dialogue with affected partners. The project should be completed by 2022-12-31.
