Zurich Knowledge Center for Sustainable Development (ZKSD)

The Zurich Knowledge Center for Sustainable Development (ZKSD) was founded by the four universities of the Canton of Zurich (UZH, ZHAW, PHZH and ZHdK). The project platform, which was launched in 2021, brings together research and teaching from various disciplines and universities and makes them actionable for the goals of sustainable development.
