Take part in a dynamic international programme focused on turning sustainability from theory into real organizational practice. This Blended Intensive Programme combines a virtual introduction with an intensive on-site week in Maribor, where students, academics, and industry experts collaborate on solving concrete sustainability challenges.

The programme explores how sustainability can be effectively implemented through governance, strategy, and project management. You will gain practical insights into ESG integration, ethical leadership, stakeholder-oriented strategies, and sustainable business models, while working on real-life cases provided by an international consulting company.

Through interactive lectures, workshops, and teamwork in an international environment, you will develop key competences in managing sustainability within organizations. The programme also includes a study excursion to leading Slovenian companies, offering first-hand experience of sustainable practices in action.

If you want to strengthen your strategic thinking, gain hands-on experience, and understand how sustainability is implemented in real business contexts, this programme is an excellent opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills.
