about oikos Copenhagen

oikos Copenhagen – Students for Sustainability is a student-led youth organisation. We provide a platform for stakeholders across the spectrum (students, academia, business, government and NGOs) to collaborate on sustainability for systemic change. Our mission is to foster the responsible leaders of tomorrow by enabling students to be changemakers for sustainability today. Our shared values of community, commitment and collaboration guide us in our impact initiatives.

Every degree matters and we see interdisciplinarity as one of the main enablers for sustainable development and global change. For that reason, we welcome students and seek dialogue with stakeholders from any university in the Copenhagen area interested in contributing to or collaborating on our mission of integrating sustainability into campus, curriculum and career.

We leverage 20 years of existence, network and relationships and channel them into our projects. oikos Copenhagen is the result of the merger of two former student organisations at CBS by the names WELL and Develop, which were founded in 2002 and 2004 respectively. The merged organisation was named 360° Students for Sustainability - a stronger actor in the sustainability debate. In 2013, 360° Students for Sustainability rebranded as oikos Copenhagen - Students for Sustainability. Our organisation had then been a local chapter of oikos International since 2011.
