Sustainability Action Lab

Sustainability Action Lab supports TU Dublin academics, students and partners from all sectors of society to collaborate on United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) aligned themes and challenges.

It engages partners from civil society (charities, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises), industry, or government in co-learning activities in the real-world. Through Sustainability Action Lab, participants work together on knowledge exchange and co-creation and engage in critical thinking.

Each collaboration is designed to benefit all who take part. The collaboration partner becomes part of a co-learning process that examines an aspect of sustainability that is important to them; students enhance their learning, developing and applying their specialist subject skills and knowledge in a particular context while receiving course credits for their work; and TU Dublin Academics create an environment for transformative learning for their students.

Through the collaborations it supports, Sustainability Action Lab aims to help develop the key competencies needed across society to successfully navigate the transition to becoming a more sustainable economy, society and environment.
