Joint Sustainability Seminar for Master-Level Students at the Faculty of Technology
The seminar aims to increase knowledge of master’s students on sustainability issues. Take chance to build your capacity to combine the knowledge you are acquiring with action to promote sustainability in your fields of studies and endeavor.
Technology has had and has a very large impact on how we live our lives, and indeed also our knowledge of the world around us. What happens within the field of technology affects far outside the field of technology itself, and conversely, what happens within the field of technology is affected by factors far outside its domains. This means that, among other things, sustainability in connection with technological development should be discussed from many perspectives, even ones that may not normally be handled within the technology area itself
