Research activities
Research cluster Concepts and processes of school, extracurricular and university education for sustainable development (ESD)
The research cluster aims to build on previous interdisciplinary projects, such as research projects, conferences and further education programmes at the university. It is closely networked with the activities of the Oldenburg Teaching-Learning Spaces (OLELA).
The digital ESD snack emerged from the cluster. University employees or external guests regularly present their projects and research projects in the field of ESD in a short presentation (30 min), which is then discussed together. All those interested in ESD, both inside and outside the university, are welcome to listen or make a contribution.
In addition, regular cluster meetings are held approximately every 6 - 8 weeks for the exchange and further development of activities.
