Learning sustainability in an intercultural way – Case ERREC

During the year 2016, Lahti University of Applied Sciences coordinated the ERREC - Environmental Responsibility and Resource Efficiency of Companies project, which aims at starting and strengthening the cooperation between Finnish, Russian and Swedish universities around the topic of environmental sustainability of companies. The activities of the project included two workshops with companies, an intensive week, guest lectures and project meetings. The partners were interested to join the project because of the opportunity to learn from each other and develop cooperation with their neighboring countries. The partners of the project are Lahti University of Applied Sciences (Finland), ITMO University (Russia), NOvSU University (Russia), University of Gävle (Sweden) and Aalto University (Finland). Each partner has its own education and research profile. This provides a fruitful starting point for the cooperation that is important for the countries around the Baltic Sea.Kapitel i årsbokERRE
