Engaged UniBE

Titleimage: Engaged UniBE

Engaged UniBE is an initiative of the University of Bern that aims to anchor the University in society. The University of Bern shapes social developments with stakeholders from the city of Bern, the region and the Canton of Bern and beyond. Our society is facing major challenges: Climate change and adaptation, loss of biodiversity, demographic change and the effects of digitalization. There is no one best solution to these challenges. Rather, approaches and solutions should be jointly developed and based on research.
