Organisation profile
Sustainability has many facets. Inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching characterize the School of Sustainability. Scientists in our research projects work together in the laboratory, on the heath, in the grassland, in the classroom, with the city administration, with farmers, with non-governmental organizations, with companies, with students in the lecture hall and of course at their desks.
Furthermore, we work with regional and national political actors, e.g. ministries, as well as international organizations, e.g. UNEP, UNESCO, EU. We are part of national and international bodies, e.g. sustainability advisory boards of companies, member of the German Sustainability Award, World Biodiversity Council (IPBES), in order to contribute to social change with scientific findings.
Topics
Als Träger der universitätsweiten Wissenschaftsinitiative Nachhaltigkeitsforschung fragt die Fakultät nach Bedingungen und Chancen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Die Fakultät verbindet dazu Human- und Naturwissenschaften mit derzeit etwa 25 Professuren aus den Disziplinen Chemie, Informatik, Kommunikation, Management, Ökologie, Philosophie, Planung, Politik, Psychologie, Recht, Technik und VWL. Die transdisziplinären Arbeitsweisen in Forschung, Studium und Dienstleistungen zielen insbesondere darauf, zukünftige Entwicklungschancen für die Zivilgesellschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts zu schaffen und zu erhalten.
