This Bachelor-level Program of the International Summer University WU in Vienna consists of intensive courses, held by WU university staff, and enrichment courses, held by renowned, international guest lecturers. rnrnThe course description: The course aims at providing an introduction into the concept of sustainability, a breaking down of this concept into the regional scale and a translation of it into the business world.

The students will not only learn the theoretical background and the scientific models of sustainability, but will work practically to experience "hands-on" what the concept and theory may mean in the context of a business environment.rnIn short, we want to make the rather vague and fuzzy concept of sustainability tangible and operational in the real world.
