As a public institution, UNIL's mission is to disseminate scientific knowledge, methodologies, tools and lessons learned from sustainability research projects. In order to ensure that this knowledge is disseminated widely and in an accessible way to a diverse public, the university mobilises a number of channels and strategies:

• Scientific outreach activities and events on topical issues. These open up dialogue, stimulate the exchange of ideas, fuel debate and provide the keys to understanding complex issues such as sustainability. The Explore website allows you to discover UNIL's activities aimed at the general public.
• Numerous conferences on the ecological transition. The Sustainability Competence Centre (CDD) lists all the sustainability-related events organised on campus in a public calendar. The CDD also organises an annual series of lectures on key sustainability issues, such as energy saving with the Less is More series.
• External collaborations. The knowledge acquired is also disseminated through projects in partnership with existing networks of players or through the creation of new networks or exchange platforms.
• Literature reviews, such as those published by the CCD to clarify concepts central to the debate on ecological transition.
• Scientific publications produced by researchers in all the university's faculties and research centres.
