About us 
The team Society Based Education (SBE) part of the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC), connects societal issues to the Universitys BSc and MSc programmes. The SBE team supports and inspires WUR teachers to design their educational offerings in connection with society and in the context of hybrid learning environments.

It is WURs ambition to allow students to learn in an authentic way as much as possible, so they can apply their academic knowledge in the Netherlands and abroad, and thereby contribute to finding solutions to current societal issues. Examples of these issues include the nitrogen crisis and climate problems in general, developing new breeding techniques in Tanzania, and developing a strategy for more agroforestry in the Netherlands. In hybrid learning environments, students learn to look beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines, come into contact with their future occupational field, and develop complex social and personal skills, such as entrepreneurship and reflection. In this way, the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to societal problems is integrated as a foundational aspect of WUR study programmes. This requires a strong network of public and non-public actors that understand the added value of collaborating with WUR students and teachers. To this end, the SBE team maintains good contacts with various knowledge networks, living labs, individual clients and teachers.
