The Student Sustainability Hub gathers, coordinates and supports student initiatives and activities focused on sustainable development. The hub is open for all student at Chalmers University of Technology and the university of Gothenburg. We aim to create cross-disciplinary platforms and activities for students where you can exchange knowledge and learn more about sustainable development. Our activities are hosted for, by and with students at both universities. On this page you will find information about how students at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg can get involved in different sustainability activities.
There is a number of different sustainability related student organisations at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers. Most of them are associated to the different student unions in the city.
The organisations arrange different activities, such as lectures, workshops, movie screenings, debates, bike days, study visits and much more. They also work to improve the universities sustainability efforts in different ways by being part of campus development and working for integrating sustainability into all education programs.
As part of our mission, we coordinate an informal network for students involved in different student-led sustainability oriented organisations, projects and groups. The network meets once a month to discuss potential collaboration projects and exchange knowledge. The network is open for student-led, not-for-profit, projects and organisations at the two universities that are working with any of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Are you running an organisation or project and want to join the network? Contact us! You find our contact details at the end of this page.
The student organisations are happy to welcome new students to join the organisations! By joining a sustainability organisation, you can make a change for a better world, acquire project management skills, communications skills and group dynamics, have lots of fun and of course make new friends! If there is no student organisation on your faculty we are happy to help you start one
The Student Sustainability Hub can support you if you want to start a new sustainability focused project or organisation.
