WELCOME TO ERASMUS SUSTAINABILITY DAYS 2023
As more and more people become aware of the need for a transition to a sustainable society, there is growing pressure on governments and businesses of different industries to address this need. From food production to fashion, logistics to construction, there is not a single sector that is excluded from the need for this transition. To add to this, the current energy crisis poses a window of opportunity to debate about how we produce and sustainably consume energy. All this we have summed up in one week with the following subthemes: society, business, industry and luxury.
Our Mission
We aim to increase the awareness of sustainability issues and motivate change within Erasmus University Rotterdam, as well as on an individual level in their daily lives. We strive to achieve our vision by building, educating, and engaging a sustainable community, and offering sustainable services to external parties.
