Senior advisors to the president with different areas of responsibility

Magnus Breitholtz, environment and sustainable development

Professor Magnus Breitholtz, as Senior advisor to the president has operational responsibility for the environment and sustainable development.

Outside of Stockholm University, this involves working for increased collaboration with different types of partners as well as, at the request of the President, to represent Stockholm University in meetings or work processes related to the environment and sustainable development. Examples of such collaborations are the Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions, a new initiative from Karolinska Institutet, KTH – Royal Institute of Technology, and Stockholm University to further contribute to sustainable societal development, and Civis – European Civic University Alliance, which is a collaboration between ten European universities, including Stockholm university.

Within the University, this involves contributing to the University's development in the area and working to raise the University's commitment and profile towards the surrounding society. In addition, the Senior advisor to the President is to chair and lead the University's Environmental Council, maintain a dialogue with the University management and represent the environmental commitments in the contexts in which the University's core activities operate.

A specific part of this work is to lead and develop the work with Stockholm University's Sustainability Forum, which has the ambition to be a meeting place that engages a broad participation throughout the university and promotes dialogue and collaboration between the university and other actors.
