What is COSI?
The COpenhagen Sustainability Initiative (COSI) is a network across Sustainability Platform at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) , Sustainability Science Centre at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and Global Decision Support Initiative at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Our ambition is to create joint research, education and outreach activities on sustainability. The partnership recognizes the need for cross-disciplinary view on sustainability across universities. This places a new and growing demand on universities to provide relevant, cross-disciplinary knowledge platforms that can contribute to sustainable societal innovation. Why COSI? It is becoming increasingly clear that continued societal development requires an entirely new approach to resource use both in terms of natural and human capital. Thus, “sustainability” has become an important theme in both business and in public policy. |

Through our complementary profiles, CBS, UCPH and DTU can, together, provide a complete suite of the sustainability competences required for informed decision-making. The purpose of the cooperation is to link the existing and upcoming sustainability initiatives at the three universities in order to provide external decision-makers with access to their combined competences through a single contact point. To support the linking of the individual university initiatives, we explore the possibilities for joint initiatives within research , education and outreach within sustainability and sustainability science between the three universities.
