Institute for Sustainable Development and Learning

Organisational unit: Institute

Organisation profile

The Institute for Sustainable Development and Learning (ISDL) is a central, cross-faculty institution at Leuphana University of Lüneburg aiming to research and support transdisciplinary learning processes for sustainable development. In our work we systematically put the South-North dimension of transdisciplinary learning processes in sustainable development at the core of our activities and actively contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As an inter-faculty body, we strive to evolve into a national as well as international platform that enables evidence-generating research and supports the evidence-based application of findings, in close collaboration with partners from the Global South.
