BEYOND addresses one of the EU’s strategic priorities: protecting the environment and tackling climate change. The project combines interdisciplinary research, innovative teaching, and capacity building to align sustainability policy with real-world implementation across Europe.
Sustainability Education and Awareness
BEYOND raises awareness about climate change, EU environmental legislation, and ESG-related risks—such as greenwashing—through:
- The design of dedicated teaching modules,
- Integration of sustainability into business, finance, and law education,
- Student-led activities like mock conferences and experimental labs.
Digital Skills for Sustainability
The project promotes digital education by developing the BEYOND Platform (WP4), a virtual environment that supports:
- Online learning and discussion,
- Collaborative workspaces,
- Access to open digital resources.
In addition, BEYOND explores the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in ESG applications, helping students gain future-oriented competencies.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship
BEYOND supports students in developing innovative services for businesses, especially in the context of ESG compliance and green transition.
It also fosters:
- Sustainable entrepreneurship,
- The creation of new governance models (e.g., benefit corporations),
- ESG-oriented start-up ideas in the fields of law, finance, and economics.
The project encourages a cultural shift toward more responsible and sustainability-focused business practices.
