We view sustainability as a comprehensive responsibility towards present and future generations. For us, sustainability is not a one-off measure, but a strategic, cross-cutting task in research, teaching, knowledge transfer, administration and faculty development. In doing so, we combine academic excellence with social relevance and responsible action.
Researchers, lecturers, students and staff are invited to contribute different perspectives and to develop solutions together.
Our aim is to contribute to an ecologically sustainable, socially just and liveable future through scientifically sound, reflective and collaborative action.

Prof. Dr. Martina Fuchs, Prodekanin für Nachhaltigkeit der WiSo-Fakultät und Leiterin des Instituts für Wirtschafts- und Sozialgeographie, steht in einem modernen Hörsaal und spricht über Chancengleichheit, Antidiskriminierung und Nachhaltigkeit
