Netværksmøde i UBU forskernetværket
Odense Jomfrukloster, Albani Torv 6, 5000 Odense
28. apr 2026, KL. 09.15
In October 2025 we realized that Denmark lacked a network for researchers interested in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and related pedagogical fields.
We wanted to do something about that, and after a well visited startup meeting, we are proud to invite you to the first regular network seminar for researchers in ESD on April 28th from 9.15 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This time we are happy to be hosted by CUHRE, who work to study and boost the population’s eco-literacy, at Jomfruklostret in Odense.
It is our ambition that the network is closely linked to practice, so that research can support practitioners, and so that practitioners can conversely provide insight into where there is a lack of research through the ESD partnership UBU.
We also hope that the network among other things can contribute to researchers gaining greater knowledge of each other’s work, provide better, shared overview of funds and programs and create a fertile ground for larger joint projects.
The network is organizationally anchored in the ESD (UBU) partnerships, which work with Education for Sustainable Development through partnerships across the entire Danish education sector.

Eco-poethics – Walk & Talk With Nina Lykke and Odense River*
The workshop will mainly take place outdoors along Odense River. Remember appropriate clothing and footwear for being outside. Nina Lykke will introduce to eco-poethics, her work with place-specific eco-stories, in this case a story that is situated in and near Odense River. Furthermore, there will be time when we walk along the river, to gather in the ESD theme groups, to talk about how each research theme has practical relevance and can be related to place.
