What is SUSTAINIT?
SUSTAINIT consists of three centres. Two of these exist already - Centre for Global Health and Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education (SHE) – and one is new: The Pandemic Centre.
All three centres address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG3 in particular, and they are strongly thematically related: sustainable healthcare education requires a global perspective and future pandemics are one of the core challenges for global health.
But the centres also have different strengths and focus areas: while SHE is a Centre of Excellence in Education with a mandate to foster excellence in education for sustainable development, the Centre for Global Health has a strong focus on capacity development and knowledge sharing between North and South.
The new Pandemic Centre will primarily support and coordinate interdisciplinary research activities on pandemics.
