oikos Local Chapters are run by highly skilled and motivated students who energetically work to integrate sustainability at their universities and the local community. The teams work independently and show how responsibility, hands-on project experience and fun go together.

As of May 2010, oikos had 32 Local Chapters in 18 countries on 4 continents. In 2009, the teams organised at least 181 events, including conferences, panel discussions, simulation games, seminars, surveys, lectures, movie screenings and reading circles.

oikos Spring Meeting 2010, Reims

Student Engagementoikos International, located in St.Gallen, is a network hub that supports the existing Local Chapters to develop their activities and maximise their impact. It also stimulates the foundation of new chapters and guides their start-up process. To achieve these goals, we offer coaching, skill seminars,

online tools, marketing materials and contacts to decision makers. We also bring together student change makers from the oikos Chapters in our international Spring and Autumn meetings – for exchange of ideas, concepts and experience, and to build lasting networks of future change makers.

PhD and Faculty EngagementWith the oikos Foundation, we organise academic projects to integrate sustainability into innovative research and teaching at the world’s departments and schools for management and economics.

Our events, like the PhD and Young Scholars Academies, prepare aspiring academics for high-impact inquiry into sustainability, and make them change agents for academic innovation globally.
