We are the University of Groningen network organisation in the area of sustainable development. It is where UG scientists and lecturers from a broad spectrum of disciplines work together on important social challenges of our time. The guiding theme is how to retain or improve the wellbeing of people for current and future generations. Sustainable Society is a pressure cooker for scientific research. The staff of Sustainable Society supports scientists, creates meetings and forges alliances. We make links with national and international colleagues, organisations and social partners. We inspire, innovate and accelerate. We share results, make them visible and usable. We develop ground-breaking research projects, organise research meetings and major events with a national and international impact. On the basis of our expertise, we support scientists with obtaining funds, communication and publicity.
