Sustainable Society is a strategic theme of the University of Groningen. The theme is deeply rooted in our community and reaches out to external parties to work together on societal challenges. On a daily basis, the Sustainable Society Office serves as a strong backbone and helps our community members and their projects to flourish.

The main aims of the office are to:

• Encourage knowledge sharing between different disciplines, sharpening of research questions and develop new collaborations.  
• Support new interdisciplinary initiatives and assist research groups to develop research proposals and funding options.
• Interact with research groups, companies, NGOs and local and (inter)national governmental bodies to increase transdisciplinarity and impact.
• Disseminate knowledge to strengthen the impact of our projects and contribute to the solutions of societal challenges.
