Breaking barriers before it was cool: The start of SGT and what it took .

There was a time when multidisciplinarity wasn’t the norm and collaboration across boundaries was a bold move. The Sustainable Global Technologies (SGT) programme was born in that era—and rose to become one of Aalto’s most impactful.

In Episode 2, Olli Varis, academic leader and Matleena Muhonen, programme manager of the SGT programme—the people who laid its foundation—share the story of how it all began, the challenges they faced, and why multidisciplinary learning matters now more than ever.
