For researchers

Join the interdisciplinary core team

The RCSC is supported by an interdisciplinary network of Radboud employees. This team consists of 15 scientists spread across the many disciplinary faculties on campus. Our current team addresses sustainability issues within their own disciplinary focus of environmental science, transformation studies, economics, ethics, global governance, law, politics, anthropology, sociology, business and finance. Through monthly meetings, the core team comes together to build a common understanding of sustainability research, education and action, which requires a cross-section of disciplines. The core team also serves as an advisory board for the RCSC activities and as a hub for collaborative writing projects, grant scoping and sustainability strategy. Do you also want to be part of this network, our core team, or do you want to stay informed about activities and developments? You can reach us by emailing: rcsc [at] ru.nl.

Developing transformative education and research

Our network strengthens inter- and transdisciplinary research on sustainability by bringing researchers together via seminars, joint projects and research proposals. We scale the impact of Radboud University's research to support the transformations society needs to achieve the SDGs and more ambitious climate, justice and biodiversity goals. This is only possible if we come together to define and understand the most pressing questions for research and the future of sustainability education.  

About RCSC

The RCSC is led by Ingrid Visseren-Hamakers and Ad Ragas. A group of researchers, students and teachers from all faculties of Radboud University and an external advisory board form the internal and external pillars of the RCSC. The RCSC also works closely with Radboud Green Office, the Sustainability Program Director and the Radboud Sustainable Development Network (RSDN) of Radboud University.

The goal is to make sustainability relevant. Read our manifesto here.
