About the Knowledge Hubs
The Hubs host activities created with and for various stakeholders (academics, researchers, students, global partners, associated partners) in order to empower them to make big societal impact. These are spaces shared across the 9 universities that take an inter- and transdisciplinary approach to their topics, going beyond what is possible within every single university. The Hubs will be reinforced with more academic chairs and more educational content, and we will initiate a process that would lead to the creation of a fourth Knowledge Hub. More emphasis will be given to actions needed to create impact, including developing a disciplinary/transdisciplinary mindset, incubation of projects, support for project development, dissemination, implementation of solutions in natural environments and policy development. The Hubs also play an essential role in developing new innovative teaching and learning methods.
