An awesome opportunity to get the recognition you deserve for your curricula change project on your campus!

The oikos Academic realm is entering its hot phase this summer. Last month's Entrepreneurship Academy received great feedback from its participants, the participants' profiles of the Organisations Academy in August are online and the participants of the International Economics Academy are being drawn of out of pool of applications from all five continents that are currently being reviewed.
 Moreover, in our latest podcast, we talk to Michael V. Russo from the University of Oregon about his experience with teaching cases for sustainability, which we highly recommend to download!
