Learning Outcomes of UE

The goal of this course is that students will improve their knowledge of the main social, environmental and economic challenges of our time, on sustainable development and on a systemic approach of development and the functioning of society. It is about leaving an approach by silo (monodisciplinary approach) to assess social, environmental and economic consequences of decisions and policies. It is also about learning new tools to understand the benefits and limits of these policy assessments.
