This course explores how we can use the SDGs as a tool for analyzing developments in our own city: Where does the relevance of certain SDGs become particularly tangible? Where can the SDGs be used to observe developments towards sustainability, where can grievances be revealed? Where and in what way can each and every individual take action to implement the SDGs? These insights will be the basis for designing starting points for concrete real-world experiments to explore and test out solution pathways for specific challenges in the context of the SDGs.

At the beginning of April 2024, students from Eucor and EPICUR universities traveled to Vienna for the five-day EPICUR Spring School “Sustainable Entrepreneurship” at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU). Harry Bonetti, who studies Spanish and Sports Science at the University of Basel, summarizes his impressions as a participant of the Spring School: “The Spring School week was a unique experience where students from all over the world came together to develop solutions to problems for three existing sustainable companies. It was also, to a certain extent, a crash course in the world of entrepreneurship, which led us to develop an idea and a common thread for our own sustainable start-ups that can now be pursued further.”

On Thursday 11 and Friday 12 April 2024, around twenty PhD candidates gathered to celebrate the end of the European doctoral programme QUSTEC at the European Center for Quantum Sciences in Strasbourg.

As part of the University of Basel's Sustainability Week, a group of students showcased their city tour developed during the trinational block seminar "Sustainable Eucor Cities," which examines Basel through the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

From 19 to 23 February 2024, around 30 students from eight universities from the European university alliances Eucor and EPICUR worked on digital solutions and business models for problems in the healthcare sector as part of a winter school on "Digital Healthcare Entrepreneurship".

The Cross-Border Education Grant of the University of Basel is intended to support cooperation projects in teaching within the trinational university network Eucor – The European Campus, which, in addition to the University of Basel, includes the universities of Freiburg, Strasbourg, Haute-Alsace and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Funding is available for innovative bi- and tri-national courses in the fall semester 2024 and spring semester 2025.

In February, around 20 students from different disciplines at the Eucor universities of Strasbourg, Freiburg and Basel worked together intensively on the state of sustainable development in their cities in a hybrid block course at the University of Basel in which they organised city walks by students for students. The results of the course are sustainable urban explorations in the three cities or so-called SDG Walks.
