oikos
chapters

driving change on local campuses since 1998

At the core of our network are student organized locally into oikos Chapters that work together with university staff and our alumni to drive change on campus and beyond. As part of our international network, students have the opportunity to enroll in exclusive programs aimed at fostering their organizational, leadership and personal development, while connecting with like-minded peers from around the world.
 

An oikos Chapter is a local, self-organized group of students that comes together to create initiatives that support our common mission of embedding sustainability into economics and management education. oikos Chapters independently define their structure, leadership, recruitment and projects, while internationally they play a key role in the decision-making process and defining the strategic direction of oikos international.

oikos International plays a supportive role to oikos Chapters, stewarding the international community, providing experience and expertise, as well as resources that help student members learn, develop their leadership skills and create local impact.

oikos has a historic footprint at over 90 universities in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, with 29 chapters currently open and a few more in the making. Each chapter is shaped by its student members and the local context. Varying in size and structure, they reflect the ideals and aspirations of its members and act as living organisms, constantly reinventing themselves and adapting to the current local and global dynamic. 

If you wish to engage with a chapter in your city or university, feel free to get in touch directly or reach out to us and we will be happy to connect you. 

start a chapter

Do you wish to join oikos, but have no chapters at your university? Are you passionate about creating lasting change on your campus? Do you know or wish to meet fellow students eager to take on the challenge starting a new student association? Then write to us!

We have streamlined the chapter opening process and offer continuous support throughout. It requires no prior knowledge or experience and it’s itself a valuable learning you can take away, all you need is motivation and determination!

Existing student association that share values and mission of oikos, can become a local chapter with certain adjustments and alignments.
