MOOC for Sustainability: Empowering Global Campuses

We’re excited to introduce our new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for Sustainability: Empowering Global Campuses, designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to champion sustainability at your institution and beyond. The course is coordinated by the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies (Asianet) at the Centre for East Asian Studies (CEAS) at the University of Turku.

This course offers:

  • A comprehensive introduction to campus sustainability.
  • Practical tools to implement sustainable strategies.
  • Global perspectives from leading experts across five universities on three continents.

The course is structured into five modules:

  • Defining Campus Sustainability
  • Identifying Your Campus Value Chains
  • Operationalizing Sustainability Strategies
  • Monitoring and Communicating Campus Sustainability
  • Course Synthesis

 

Schedule

You can study the modules at your own pace. If you wish to receive a certificate of completion, you should review all materials and complete the required assignments. That requires approximately 40 hours. 

The course area is open until 18 December 2026, after which it is no longer possible to submit assignments or produce course certificates.

A Global Collaboration

This unique course is the result of a partnership among the University of Turku (Finland), Ateneo de Manila University (The Philippines), Universitas Indonesia (Indonesia), Lagos State University (Nigeria), and Zhejiang University (China). Together, we’ve created a dynamic and inclusive resource to inspire future sustainability leaders worldwide. This MOOC is part of the activities supported by seed funding from the Finnish Ministry of Education’s International Programme for Global Pilots 2024.
