ZHAW International Evening 2024

How can we advance our international activities and, at the same time, live up to our sustainability goals? Whether you study, research or work at the ZHAW, we need your insights and ideas to help us move forwards together. Join us on Tuesday, 8 October 2024!

Join Christine Benson, Co-Head of ZHAW International Affairs Unit, and Francesco Bortoluzzi, Head of Sustainability Programs, for the ZHAW International Evening 2024. Be part of the conversation and help shape the future of the ZHAW’s international activities sustainably.

At the ZHAW International Evening 2024, we will explore the competing priorities and complex interplays that arise at the intersections of sustainability and internationalisation.

Navigating sustainability and internationalisation

As an internationally oriented university, the ZHAW values intercultural education and exchanges within global networks. We believe that intercultural awareness and international experience are essential in a globalised world. Additionally, exchanging expertise and best practices helps address various challenges.

The ZHAW therefore encourages the international mobility of students and staff, among other things. This can be through exchange semesters, job shadowing or project and research visits. 

This mobility may, however, conflict with the ZHAW’s shared responsibility for ensuring sustainable development and its aim of reducing travel emissions and their impact on the environment as part of its sustainability goals. This is particularly relevant when such mobility involves air travel.
