Greening the University
Climate protection I Environmental protection I Sustainability
Commitment to sustainable issues is important to Osnabrück University. As early as 1997, it was the first university in Germany to adopt environmental guidelines that follow the guiding principle of sustainable development. The work of the "Greening the University" process is characterized by numerous participatory campaigns and projects relating to mobility, energy, construction, consumption, new work and nature conservation. The environmental reports provide information about the commitment and the many activities of the past years and show an environmental performance that is understood as a cross-sectional task. All people at this university should feel responsible and are encouraged to help shape it.
Our guiding principle
Our sustainable campus
A sustainable campus is a meeting place for innovative minds who are shaping a better future with green technologies and creative ideas. It's not just about learning, but also about living - with urban gardening, climate-friendly transport options and events that minimize the ecological footprint and strengthen the community spirit. From the edible campus to "Aktion Pfand" and slow fashion: there is information and hands-on activities on campus and beyond. It's worth thinking outside the box.
