Department for Sustainability

The goal and task of the department is to create a greater awareness of sustainability at the University of Stuttgart and within the student body. As part of the student representation, we are the first point of contact for all questions and suggestions regarding sustainability at the university.

Our projects aim to make the university more sustainable and to encourage students to think and act sustainably. To this end, we often work together with other actors at the university: departments, university groups, departmental groups, and bodies of the university administration. Current projects include the establishment of a Green Office within the university administration, the exchange with the Studierendenwerk about more sustainable food and beverage offerings, and the organization and hosting of sustainability days.

Furthermore, the department is committed to improving the networking of existing initiatives and projects in the field of sustainability, because only together can we make the university more sustainable.

Since our establishment at the beginning of 2019, we have already been able to implement a number of projects.

Sustainability at the University of Stuttgart

We have summarized some information about sustainability at the University of Stuttgart on the page stuvus.de/en/sustainability. Among other things, we address the following points there:

Mailing list »Nachhaltig am Campus«

There is an e-mail distribution list " Sustainable on Campus" (only in German). Here you can subscribe to the e-mail distribution list to receive information about sustainability topics from the various initiatives and people at the University of Stuttgart.

Knowledge Management (German only)

Naturally, there are often personal changes in the student community. Knowledge management is therefore very important, but not exactly easy. In a public wiki, in which everyone has read and write access, we would like to try to collect as much information as possible to make it easier to get started with the engagement for sustainability at the University of Stuttgart (currently German only):
