Description of RCE and Geographic Region:
RCE Vienna aims at a sustainable society where people engage with their socio-ecological systems through an open learning process.
By applying transformative education we want to foster people’s out of the box thinking in order to participate in constructing a sustainable society.
We apply transformative education in the field of “socio-economic development and the environment”. Herein, we start with the following topics:
Science-Society Interfaces / Knowledge Alliances
Sustainability driven entrepreneurship
Smart city
Collaborative consumption /sharing economy
Mobility
Ecosystem valuation and communication
Citizen science
In all of these topics, special attention is dedicated the “dialogue between science and society”, the stakeholder-specific communication of the results, and the cooperation with regional educational systems.
