Welcome to the Green Deal Center Hub at
Karaganda Industrial University
The Green Deal Center for Evidence-based Education, Research, Innovation, and Public Outreach (GDC) is a transnational network driving sustainability, Green Deal priorities, and regenerative futures across Eurasia. With physical and digital hubs at 10 universities in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—as well as a central EU Hub at Constructor University in Germany—the GDC fosters collaborative solutions to environmental and societal challenges through education, applied research, practical sustainability training, active student engagement, and cross-sector partnerships.
As a gateway for a just and green transition, each GDC Hub actively connects local actors —such as green businesses, NGOs, governmental agencies, and universities—with each other and with international networks. Established by the EU Erasmus+ Green Deal for Central Asian Universities grant in 2025, the GDC and its hubs strengthen ties and commitments between central Asian countries and the European Union by advancing shared approaches to sustainability, climate resilience, and Green Deal priorities. Bridging academic knowledge with real-world impact, the GDC supports:
- Curriculum and university policy transformation in line with the European Green Deal and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
- Practice-oriented research on climate, biodiversity, circular economy, and social resilience,
- Innovation ecosystems that connect students, researchers, policymakers, businesses, and civil society,
- Public engagement through open events, media outreach, and citizen science initiatives.
Each GDC Hub responds to its local context while remaining part of a shared Eurasian platform for green transition and ecological stewardship.
