For Sustainability Centre Leaders
Do you manage a business sustainability centre housed at a university? Is your centre teaching, conducting research, and working with industry to make social and environmental change?
You’re in the right place. The Sustainability Centres Community (SCC) is a global network of more than 200 university-based sustainability centres. Members share best practices for sustainability research, teaching, outreach, and centre administration. The Community helps sustainability centre leaders strengthen their impact, connect with peers worldwide, and access resources designed to advance sustainable business education and practice.
Opportunities for Sustainability Centre Leaders
The Sustainability Centres Community (SCC) helps centre leaders collaborate, share best practices, and strengthen their sustainability research and teaching. Explore the ways you can get involved:
1. Become a member
Simply complete the ‘join form’ below to add your centre as a member of the Community. As a member, here’s what you get:
- Visibility in our public directory of centres.
- Access to other centre leaders via virtual events and collaboration opportunities, and a Google Group (list-serv) where members ask questions, seek collaborators, and pose provocations.
- Access to frontier knowledge through the Network for Business Sustainability’s newsletters.
2. Attend a Knowledge Exchange
Several times a year, virtual Knowledge Exchanges bring together centre leaders to share experiences and learnings on relevant topics.
These 90-minute events begin with a 60-minute panel, featuring centre leaders who’ve run successful related initiatives. The panel is followed by an optional, 30-minute dialogue, where attendees can have intimate, peer-to-peer conversations on the topic.
Stay tuned for information on our next Knowledge Exchange.
3. Access our extensive content for sustainability centres
Sustainability centres engage in research, teaching, outreach and administration. NBS resources offer guidance in all these areas, covering topics from funding to student engagement.
4. Contribute an article
as your centre accomplished something your proud of? Other centres would benefit from hearing what you did and what you learned!
To share your experience and ideas, simply tell us about the idea you’d like to share. We’ll assess how we can help you transform it into a podcast, blog, or tweet that will create real impact.
