  Hub 1 - Climate, Environment, Energy
======================================

Tackling the challenges of the Anthropocene
--------------------------------------------

The CIVIS Academic Hub focused on Climate, Environment and Energy aims to create opportunities for inter- and transdisciplinary education and research about climate, environment and energy.

Focusing on education, we seek to provide education for established scholars as well as new-starters and wider society. Our vision is to educate in the inter- and transdisciplinary manner needed for scholars to be able to take on the challenges of the Anthropocene. These challenges include the climate and ecological crisis which is the defining challenge of our time. Focusing on research, we seek to foster collaborations among researchers working on climate, environment or energy from across CIVIS.

Our hub aims to be an academic home for educators and researchers working across disciplines and faculties across Europe and Africa. We also welcome partnerships beyond academia.

The added value of the hub is that by bringing together academic excellence from 17 universities from equatorial to northern regions, we are capable of taking on educational and research challenges that we could never dream of taking on alone. Also, the collective infrastructure of CIVIS makes it possible for our hub to overcome administrative hurdles that might otherwise be unsurmountable.

Activities and outputs of Hub 1
--------------------------------

 Hub 1: the birthplace of TRACEE
---------------------------------

[**Hub 1 is the birthplace of the Masters’ Programme in Transdisciplinary Studies of Climate, Environment and Energy (TRACEE).**](https://civis.eu/de/learn/find-your-master-s-programme/master-s-programme-in-transdisciplinary-studies-of-climate-environment-and-energy) This flagship programme was launched on September 1, 2025. Co-created by 14 universities across Europe and Africa, TRACEE is arguably Europe’s most ambitious transdisciplinary programme.

This is a groundbreaking programme, co-created and taught by 39 educators from 14 universities across Europe and Africa. It was created by a multinational team of educators and administrators who shared a vision of educating for the Anthropocene.

Students from any background begin together in Stockholm before spreading out across Europe on nine exciting study tracks, each of which is a journey to a transdisciplinary multiple or joint degree.

 An Interdisciplinary MOOC on Climate and Energy
-------------------------------------------------

Hub 1’s first network-wide project was a five-star rated MOOC on Climate and Energy from an Interdisciplinary perspective. This MOOC has already reached out to 2000 students.

[DISCOVER THE MOOC](https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/energy-and-climate-change)

 TED Talks
-----------

Members of Hub 1 have been actively disseminating the knowledge on Climate, Environment and Energy.

- [**How to communicate about the environment | Anca Anton**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlP3Kdqipdw)
- [**What a modern reformation would require | Kevin Noone**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSQACaKegwM)
- [**The worst idea ever | Todd Ehlers**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrfHLdtFe48)

 Blended Intensive Programmes created by Hub1
----------------------------------------------

Hub 1 is also proud to have created a comprehensive selection of Blended Intensive Programmes focusing on its core topics. Some recent courses include, among many others:

- [**Environmental Challenges Facing Danube River**](https://civis.eu/en/learn/civis-courses/environmental-challenges-facing-danube-river-2)
- [**Climate change and coastal landscape evolution in the Mediterranean context**](https://civis-agora.widening.eu/offering/46/2061)
- [**Nature, Society &amp; Psychology of the Climate Crisis**](https://civis-agora.widening.eu/offering/46/2175)

[See the BIP course catalogue](https://civis-agora.widening.eu///civis-student-courses)

Get involved
-------------

Hub 1 is co-led by chairpersons from University of Glasgow and Stockholm University, supported by coordinators at both universities. The hub has enjoyed the massive benefit of a dedicated education coordinator who guided setup of the Masters’ programme. The hub chairpersons are supported by and provide support for a council with representation from across the 17 universities within the CIVIS network in Africa and Europe.

We welcome all creative ideas for moving inter- and transdisciplinary education and research forward across Europe and Africa. So, if you have an idea, please contact us!
