Ecotopia

Training students in an international environment. A brief introduction:

Impact: 

"The economics departments and business schools involved will take advantage of the project to redesign their institutional colaboration. We want to build a European Master's degree in Economics by 2050, unique in its focus on global issues." 

Professor Mathieu Martin, Institute of Economics and Management, CY Cergy Paris University

Designing the European University together

Ecotopia is one of the first co-created Bachelor's programmes by 7 out of the 10 EUTOPIA universities. The seven Ecotopia partners decided to join forces and offer a 3-year programme simultaneously and in close collaboration on their campuses. They provide participating students with the unique opportunity to work in international teams at the Bachelor level.

Ecotopia aims to train enlightened citizens and leaders who embrace their future careers and engagements with enthusiasm and confidence in a globalized context. Ecotopia graduates will be highly skilled in economics, management, finance, or business. They will also show adaptability and an enduring taste for lifelong learning and cooperation.

Ecotopia graduates will be trained to embed sustainability in their projects and responses to challenges throughout their careers and lives as engaged citizens of the world.

Two summer schools, one in Ljubljana and one in Rabat (on the ESSEC Business School campus) complete the programme. The first works as an accelerator in creating the community; the second will focus on innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa.

The programme grants successful students a European certification and their main national or school degree, and a lifelong network of contacts all across Europe. 

Ecotopia relies on the EUTOPIA alliance to offer students an international education pathway oriented towards sustainable development. This dynamic is in line with the member institutions' ambitions and European policies on societal transition. EUTOPIA is positioning itself as a critical player in the field of education for a sustainable future while empowering its students with the knowledge and skills essential for their careers as high-profile economics, management, finance, and business professionals.
