About
OSEGS is a civil society, non-profit organization that aims to foster understanding, share knowledge, and connect communities in the sciences, culture, economics, and governance, to contribute to the positive development of global society.
Approach
OSEGS collaborates with local, national, and international stakeholders and contributes to the vision of the United Nations Global Compact. Our activities are aligned with strategic European and global agendas, including the European Green Deal, the Digital Europe Programme, and the European Pillar of Social Rights, while advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Areas of Activity
Sharing transformative knowledge OSEGS offers educational support for students of all ages, providing an accessible, holistic vision of the Sustainable Development Goals and the global Society. We encourage creativity, personal growth and the desire to actively engage in the development of human society.
Education
OSEGS supports scientific investigation into questions where the environment, society and technology merge. We provide interdisciplinary technical resources for innovative research projects, in partnership with a network of universities and research facilities.
Science
Consolidating participative communities OSEGS supports civil society groups that contribute to progress on a global level. We seek to foster a worldwide network of civil, corporate and academic leaders and actors who are committed to creating a more connected and empowered global society.
Global Society
Reasoning
Civil society action not only requires progressive and ambitious thinking, but also interdisciplinary management skills. Combining sustainable projects and senior professionals gave rise to the foundation of OSEGS. Selected projects and initiatives are mentored by academics, private-sector managers and public-sector sponsors to maximize the chances of success. OSEGS brings together diverse people from academia, industry and government to create an international, plural group with decades of experience in sustainable development, industrial production, digital technology, education, research and more.
