Sue van Geijn

Sue van Geijn serves as an Environmental Ethicist, Philosopher, Researcher, and Lecturer at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences' Institute for Communication, Media, and Information Technology (CMI). She acts as an ambassador exploring critical connections between humans, nature, and technology within CMI's digital technology programs that significantly impact society ecologically and socially.

Her research focuses on integrating sustainability into technological education and development, emphasizing how all academic disciplines—from sensor data to healthcare—must address ecological impacts. Key initiatives include the Wijk als Biotoop (Neighborhood as Biotope) project, which leverages technology to empower residents in achieving biodiversity goals. She advocates for nature-inclusive education across all university programs, arguing that technological systems should transition from ecologically destructive models toward green solutions that benefit both humans and animals.

Van Geijn's work centers on restructuring educational mindsets to prioritize planetary well-being, examining partnership choices in projects and foundational approaches to curriculum design. Her motto explicitly demands making all university of applied sciences education nature-inclusive, recognizing that every domain affects ecological systems.
