Students often identify practical environmental problems: energy wasted in buildings, food discarded by businesses, difficult recycling systems or transport options that do not meet user needs. A student project can explore such a problem, but a green startup must also show that people will use the proposed solution and that

Solar power, energy-efficient buildings and electric mobility make the green transition look like an engineering project. Engineers are essential, but technical solutions alone cannot change how organizations invest, purchase, produce, communicate and measure results. Accountants, managers, tourism professionals, marketers and entrepreneurs all make decisions with environmental consequences. Higher education should

Imagine education that fits like a tailor-made suit: courses matched to your pace, support arriving before you fail a test, and teachers who know which materials actually work. This is not science fiction – it is what learning analytics already makes possible. And as universities across Europe and Asia digitalise their teaching, the data

The smart-city research agenda is undergoing an important transition. The central question is no longer simply whether artificial intelligence, IoT sensors, digital twins or advanced data platforms can improve urban services. Increasingly, the challenge is to determine how these technologies interact with energy systems, spatial planning, governance, citizen behaviour, climate adaptation

A CV can list sustainability, data analysis and teamwork without telling a reader what the applicant has actually done. For a student preparing to contribute to the green and digital transition, the challenge is to turn those labels into visible capability. What would count as convincing evidence that you can

What if the next great business idea is already around you?  Today, young people have more tools than ever to turn an idea into something real. Technology makes it easier to create, test and share new solutions, while growing environmental challenges are creating demand for products and services that are

Cities are adding sensors, digital platforms and artificial intelligence to manage transport, energy, public services and infrastructure. These tools can support sustainability, but a city does not become sustainable simply because it collects more data. People must understand the technology, define useful goals and make decisions that serve residents. For

There are about 3.7 billion gamers in the world – nearly half of humanity – and the global games market reached 184 billion dollars in 2023. Meanwhile, universities still struggle to make sustainability more than a chapter in a textbook. What if the engagement that keeps people playing could be

What makes a city genuinely “smart”? Is it the number of sensors installed in its streets? The sophistication of its artificial intelligence? Its digital twin? Its smart electricity grid? Or should a smart city ultimately be judged by something more fundamental: whether technology helps create a cleaner, more resilient, efficient

Imagine a university team designing a system to reduce energy use in a campus building. The technical concept looks promising, yet nobody has worked out who will use the information, how decisions will be made or who will keep the system running. For the twin green and digital transition, those
