The oikos Local Chapters
- oikos members about oikos Chapters
Currently, 31 oikos Local Chapters at universities in Europe, Asia, Africa and America walk the talk towards sustainable economics and management at their faculties and universities. Our Chapter members organise lecture series, panel discussions, simulation games, green weeks and many other projects they are interested in - for making their universities more "sustainable", future-oriented and creative.

“I want a next generation of responsible leaders to emerge and this is going to be from networks like oikos. People are going to say “Look, we don’t just have to wait for governments, we don’t just have to wait for regulation or leading companies - we are going to go out and take responsibility ourselves, we’ll do it ourselves - and that’s the buzz I got from oikos students.”
