Our mission

Education and research for a sustainable development in the Middle East.

What? The SAGE-Centre is one of four Global Centres for Climate and Environment funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Who? The SAGE-centre is based at An-Najah University in Nablus, Palestine, and coordinated at the University of Tübingen, Germany. It is a co-production of Palestinian, Jordanian, and German scientists and decision-makers in the region.

Why? The overarching goal of SAGE is to contribute to sharing of and exposure to knowledge and capacity building in disciplines relevant for sustainable resource management, to conduct multilateral, inter- and transdisciplinary research on areas of concern, and make available cutting-edge research relevant for decision-makers.

How? We work jointly on empowering societies in the Middle East to find science-based solutions to  adaptive and sustainable management of natural resources in a changing world. Our means are an international Research School providing cutting-edge education in relevant disciplines, and state-of-the-art transdisciplinary research. The centre serves as a regional resource for capacity building of a young generation and a focal point for regional efforts to propose climate and land use change adaptation options.

It aims to become a regional resource for national and international bodies concerned with global change and to promote regional transboundary cooperation in global change. SAGE is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Anan Jayyousi from An Najah University and Prof. Dr. Katja Tielbörger, University of Tübingen.
