Global Challenges and sustainability incompany
Does your organisation have ambitions for sustainability, international cooperation and positive social change? Radboud University has been offering keynotes, workshops and programmes for organisations to help play their part for over 25 years.
Education for the challenges of today and tomorrow
Radboud University Global Challenges is the new name for AMID: the high-quality training institute that has been connecting the science and practice of the development sector since 1998.
We believe that connecting science and practice is the key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our teaching is based on the idea that sustainable development requires collective action within an international and broad range of sectors and actors. We aim to enable ambitious professionals, together with organisations including NGOs, governments, companies, consultancies, knowledge institutes and private and corporate foundations around the world, to formulate innovative responses and breakthrough solutions. In response to the challenges of today and tomorrow. Let's connect and cooperate!
Workshop (2-4 days)
Our workshop offers insights into the essential knowledge to improve the daily practice of international cooperation and gives professionals and executives the right tools to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Programme (1 year)
Within the post-inital master's in Global Challenges programme professionals with moral ambition develop the skills to tackle global challenges. The programme brings together participants from business, NGOs, and government in an international learning environment. This unique mix stimulates profound cross-sector collaboration and strengthens your capacity to realise sustainable change. Does your organisation want to contribute to sustainable change whilst benefiting from fresh insights? There are two ways to take part: nominate an internal candidate or host new talent via matching.
Cooperating with (international) partners
Over time, we have built a relevant network of international policymakers, NGOs and for-profit organisations. For example Johnson & Johnson, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Wilde Ganzen. We seek collaboration with foreign universities. For instance, since 2021 we partner with the University of Nairobi for the master in Global Challenges.
What does this unique collaboration offers you?
- A great networking opportunity through the interaction with trainees from various countries and diverse organisations.
- A look beyond the confines of your own field and provide multidisciplinary training.
- Participants develop a wide range of professional and academic skills.
- Our teachers are prominent academics, specialists and professionals in and outside Kenya and The Netherlands.
