Collegio futuro 2024/25 Programme & Topics
Conceptualizing the process of socio-economic transformation for sustainable development demands an integration of perspectives from different research disciplines and needs creative and open-minded experts who do not hesitate to step out of their comfort zone and collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner, striving for the best solutions. Collegio futuro seeks to foster these skills essential for tackling our urgent environmental, economic, and societal challenges.

- strengthening competencies in interdisciplinary communication and project elaboration,
- empowering students to transfer their knowledge and expertise to different contexts,
- promoting critical and system thinking,
- raising awareness for the challenges of socio-economic transformation,
- encouraging communication of scientific findings to civil society.
