Contributing to a better world
Gandhi once said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. It is that mindset that makes the HZ see it as its duty to provide innovative education and research to contribute to a better world. And, in this context, by ‘better’ we mean ‘more sustainable’. Because if the world of today is facing one challenge that education and research can play a major role in, it is sustainability.
How do we get started?
In what way can our students and professionals contribute to a better society in relation to companies, institutes, governments, and civilians? That is the question we want to work on. Read more about it in our Institutional Plan.
In the HZ Institutional Plan, you can read more about our mission/vision, ambitions and core values. We are proud of the fact that the plan is the product of a close collaboration with our internal and external stakeholders.
