Training course: Fundamentals of Sustainable Universities 🌱

Uni­ver­si­ties have an incre­di­ble poten­ti­al of dri­ving sus­taina­bi­li­ty in socie­ty. At TUM Inter­na­tio­nal GmbH we have embark­ed on a jour­ney of cata­ly­zing and enab­ling uni­ver­si­ties in lever­aging this poten­ti­al! One important step in this jour­ney has been the deve­lo­p­ment and deli­very of the Sus­taina­bi­li­ty Trai­ning in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with our part­ner Uni­ver­si­ty Indus­try Inno­va­ti­on Net­work (UIIN).

In this cour­se, we accom­pa­ny chan­ge­ma­kers in their endea­vors to dri­ve sus­taina­bi­li­ty in their insti­tu­ti­ons and eco­sys­tems along a Who­le-Insti­tu­ti­on Approach (WIA) that uni­ver­si­ties can app­ly to advan­ce their sus­taina­bi­li­ty trans­for­ma­ti­on. It encom­pas­ses tools and examp­les with regards to sus­taina­bi­li­ty in uni­ver­si­ty admi­nis­tra­ti­on, cam­pus manage­ment, rese­arch and edu­ca­ti­on, entre­pre­neur­ship sup­port and com­mu­ni­ty manage­ment. While this approach pro­vi­des ide­as for a gui­ded struc­tu­re, it also accounts for the spe­ci­fi­ci­ties in uni­ver­si­ties’ con­text and out­lines dif­fe­rent pathways that a sus­taina­bi­li­ty trans­for­ma­ti­on can take. Par­ti­ci­pan­ts get the chan­ce to envi­si­on the ide­al sus­tainable uni­ver­si­ty of the future and defi­ne con­cre­te mea­su­res to move for­ward.
Guest spea­k­ers and key sus­taina­bi­li­ty chan­ge­ma­kers from TUM and UIIN’s eco­sys­tems pro­vi­de hands-on insights into their expe­ri­en­ces and suc­cess fac­tors when it comes to the imple­men­ta­ti­on of sus­taina­bi­li­ty in the uni­ver­si­ty con­text.
