The university wants to achieve this by developing an open, critical, and cross-boundary knowledge creation with and for people and society. Its activities should be characterized by successful ways of working for students’ and members of staff’s intercultural, interdisciplinary, and international learning and co-creation in creative learning environments.

Sustainability at Linnaeus University

As a university, there is an important role to play in the common work for a sustainable future. Through the research and the programmes, and by practicing what is being preached, there is a creation of a sustainable university – ecologically, economically, and socially.

Linnaeus University's sustainability policy (hållbarhetspolicy) highlights that the university has a key role in the transition towards a sustainable and fair society and we therefore have a great responsibility. Linnaeus University can contribute to this in various ways.
