Join the Erasmus Sustainability Days 2025 (esd25), the premier sustainability event for young professionals. Scheduled to take place from the 19th to 23rd May 2025, the ESD’s goal is to educate about the diversity of sustainability, provide career opportunities in sustainability and to foster networking opportunities. With more than 30 events spread across the five days, there's something for everyone to engage with and learn from.
With this year's theme “Taking Back Our Future” we focus on the ambition of young leaders to influence and solve the problems of our time and to realise their power and their possibility to affect change.
Our mission is to show that change is diverse because sustainability is much more than just the environmental perspective, but also includes a social and governance perspective that is crucial to solve the wicked problems that we face.
What is awaiting you?
With a variety of events from panel discussions, workshops, lectures via business cases, round table sessions to a career fair, we want to give inspiration and solution approaches to the mentioned pressing problems and place additional emphasis on career opportunities within the sustainability sector.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or are already a seasoned sustainability expert, there's something for everyone at Erasmus Sustainability Days 2025. You have the flexibility to participate in as many or as few events as they prefer, tailored to your interests and availability. Mark your calendars and join us for an unforgettable experience.
