Center for Applied Ecological Thinking (CApE) is a research and knowledge center where the humanities’ great reservoirs of knowledge of ethics, imagination, and cultural values are mobilized to respond to the imminent crisis, by reconceptualizing current ecological thinking and co-creating novel approaches for in-depth change towards sustainability together with green stakeholders.

Many of the insights that characterise Scandinavian models of sustainability governance demonstrate that better ways of life on this planet are possible. CApE’s aim is to establish itself as Scandinavia’s leading centre not just for ecological thinking, but for the translation of that thinking into practice.

The center was established in 2021 and is a part of the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies.
