Student Engagement oikos International, located in St.Gallen, is a network hub that supports the existing Local Chapters to develop their activities and maximise their impact. It also stimulates the foundation of new chapters and guides their start-up process. To achieve these goals, we offer coaching, skill seminars,

online tools, marketing materials and contacts to decision makers. We also bring together student change makers from the oikos Chapters in our international Spring and Autumn meetings – for exchange of ideas, concepts and experience, and to build lasting networks of future change makers. advancing the oikos network

PhD and Faculty Engagement With the oikos Foundation, we organise academic projects to integrate sustainability into innovative research and teaching at the world’s departments and schools for management and economics.

Our events, like the PhD and Young Scholars Academies, prepare aspiring academics for high-impact inquiry into sustainability, and make them change agents for academic innovation globally.
