About Stockholm University
We explore how people and nature can live and develop on a planet under pressure.
Founded in 2007, the center is a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Today, we bring people together from around the world to research, study, and collaborate, with a vision of a thriving and resilient biosphere that enables well-being for all.
Our science addresses the sustainability challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Our research ranges from local food systems to global financial markets.
We train the next generation of sustainability researchers and leaders, and co-create knowledge with communities, artists, organizations, corporations, and governments.
Knowing that people and nature are deeply intertwined, we recognize the importance for humanity to reconnect to the biosphere — to thrive within planetary boundaries.
Our vision is a thriving and resilient biosphere that enables well-being for all.
Our mission is to:
• Advance the scientific understanding of the complex, dynamic interactions of people and nature in the biosphere,
• train the next generation of sustainability researchers and leaders, and engage in collaborations with change agents.
Our vision and mission are accompanied by a set of underlying principles, as well as a collection of values and practices that guide the work culture:
• People and nature are deeply intertwined, co-evolve, and behave as complex adaptive systems.
• Many patterns, processes, and dynamics of the Anthropocene are novel and must be better understood.
• Biosphere stewardship can enable transformation towards resilient, sustainable, and just futures.
Organizational values and practices that define our working culture:
• scientific rigor and integrity underpin all our work
• a collaborative, trust-based, and creative working culture enables us to achieve impact
• learning, experimentation, and reflection are promoted in all our activities
• diversity, inclusion, and care are principles championed across the organization
