Integrating Nature-Based Solutions into Higher Education Curricula

What is the Whole Institution Approach (WIA) and how can it be applied to the effective implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS)? How can NBS be embedded into academic programmes and institutional practices?

We invite you to join a dialogue and exchange knowledge among higher education institutions, sharing good practices and innovative approaches to NBS integration.

The University of Eastern Finland, The Association for European Life Science Universities ICA, and other ᴇNᴀBʟS project partners are organising a virtual webinar which will provide a platform to share experiences, challenges, and success stories in mainstreaming NBS, contributing to a more sustainable future in higher education.
