The role of sustainability practitioners is evolving—so how can education and industry keep up? In this episode, we explore the shifting skill sets required for sustainability careers and what this means for workplace training and higher education. We discuss the importance of education-industry partnerships and how research informs both organisational strategies and teaching approaches. Speaking with Dr Karen Cripps, Senior Lecturer in Responsible Management and Leadership in the Oxford Brookes Business School, and Charly Cox, founder of Climate Change Coaches and Entrepreneur in Residence at Oxford Brookes Business School, we examine how institutions can align with the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) to prepare future sustainability leaders.

In this episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted, Dr Syahirah Abdul Rahman (Shera), Senior Lecturer in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, explores the transformative potential of commercialising SHAPE research - Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts for People and the Economy. She challenges misconceptions around commercialisation, explaining how it’s not just about profit but about creating sustainable, real-world impact. We discuss how SHAPE and STEM can work together, why a cultural shift in academia is needed, and how universities can support researchers in turning knowledge into practical solutions. With inspiring examples of successful SHAPE ventures, this episode highlights commercialisation as a powerful vehicle for research impact and long-term societal change.
