ounded in 2015 by the former sustainable development networks KAURI and Business & Society Belgium, The Shift network was quickly joined by other organizations working on environmental issues. Now a network of more than 460 organizations from the business world, NGOs, associations, universities, public and private organizations, The Shift strives to deploy innovative solutions to meet the major challenges of the 21st century, related to our planet, its people and its prosperity.
The University of Liège wanted to join this dynamic, by joining the largest Belgian network in favour of sustainable development.

The Ambition of the network is based on three methods.
