About the project

The COMSUS project, initiated in response to the Directive 2013/34/EU, focuses on strengthening the capabilities of higher education institutions (HEIs) to promote sustainable development through effective communication. In a time of anthropogenic climate change and global inequalities, COMSUS emphasizes the urgency of sustainable communication. By leveraging social media, the project aims to foster resilient, inclusive, and sustainable societies. The COMSUS project aligns with the European Green Deal, the European Skills Agenda, and the European Pillar of Social Rights, making it a cornerstone in the promotion of sustainability within HEIs.
