CELESTE Network

CELESTE Network

The CELESTE Network is a result of the partnerships fostered through the Master in Sustainable Development at KU Leuven and is expected to evolve over time through new collaborations, a revitalized student community, and a growing alumni network. It brings together an international learning community of academics, students, alumni, and practitioners who co-produce interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, gender-sensitive, decolonial, and research-driven education for sustainable development.
