Sustainability evaluation and communication (12950)

Course 12950/12951 is mandatory for all PhD students at DTU. The course is only for PhD students at DTU.

It is the ambition of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) that research at the university shall support sustainable development and more explicitly the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All PhD students at DTU must therefore achieve an understanding of sustainability and sustainable development that enables them to position and develop their research in the context of these goals and contribute positively to the achievement of these goals in their research and future professional work. DTU also wants it’s PhD students to be able to reflect on the role of science and research in public debate. All PhD students must therefore train their communication skills and be able to communicate their research to a non-expert audience in a popular science form, as well as reflect on their own responsibility and willingness to communicate with the general public.
