Aims
After this course, you can:
  • Explain the relevance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and which indicators are used to monitor progress towards the goals;
  • Reflect on the synergies and trade-offs between SDGs and challenges in reaching the goals;
  • Identify and discuss how your own field of study can contribute to moving towards the SDGs;
  • Constructively work in a multidisciplinary team to analyse a set of SDGs and measures to achieve them.
Content
The course consists of weekly lectures by researchers from different fields. These lectures provide you with a broad view of the SDGs, its many interrelations and an array of scientific perspectives with which to study the SDGs. Next to this lecture series, you will work in small multi-disciplinary groups on an assignment relating several SDGs to each other, with a very open final product. This project will be graded to form 50% of your final grade. The other 50% of your final grade will be based on an individual paper on a cluster of SDGs of your choice using one of the scientific perspectives introduced by the lecturers.

The course is intended for bachelor students (roughly 3rd year level) from all study programmes with lecturers from multiple faculties.
