Bringing sustainability into the consciousness of university members – this is the goal of the StuRa's Sustainability Working Group (WG) founded in May 2023. Through a variety of actions and projects, people should be encouraged to critically question their actions and lifestyle. A shift in thinking towards sustainable behavior, ecologically and socially compatible technologies and resilient structures is necessary, especially at universities, to promote sustainable developments in the long term. Together we can mitigate climate change and create better coexistence – locally as well as globally.
We see ourselves as a platform for students who are
- interested in the topic,
- want to discuss in an interdisciplinary way
- would like to contribute wishes and criticism on the topic of sustainability on campus life,
- want to support various activities or
- >would like to implement their own projects.
Feel free to contact us via our email address and get involved at our tri-weekly meetings.
