What is the European School of Sustainability Science and Research?
ESSSR is an inter-university consortium composed by members which share an interest on sustainability science and on matters related to sustainable development. It is a key organization, filling in a gap in respect of the coordination of sustainability science teaching and research at European universities seen today.
The members benefit from a research infrastructure dedicated to advancing sustainability research in Europe. With over 80 members, ESSSR is the largest network on sustainability research in Europe. Since it was set-up in 2019, ESSSR has successfully secured a wide range of research projects, whose volume is in excess of Euro 20 million. Also, ESSSR members, together with members of its international twin, the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP), have published over 60 papers in high-calibre journals. Whereas a regular ESSSR membership is free of charge, a Premium Membership offers a set of advantages including exclusive academic trainings, waivers of project preparation costs and professional advice.
The mission of ESSSR
“To provide a framework upon which teaching and research within the remit of sustainability science may be further developed at European universities, by means of joint, digitally-oriented teaching programmes, research projects, PhD training and quality scientific publications to be published in high calibre journals”.
