Excursions
What does sustainable development mean in practice? Which environmental practices are endorsed by companies and institutions in Switzerland? How are legal regulations implemented?
Answers to pressing questions like these can be found in the excursions the UniFR_ESH Institute offers every semester. They allow students to gain insights into the practical implications of environmental and sustainable governance. To provide the necessary scientific and ethical background the excursions are linked with the participation in the seminar "Focal Points of Sustainable Development".
Subscription for enrolled students is done at the secretariat.
