Center for a Sustainable University

The Center for a Sustainable University, operating from 2011 till 2019, helped Universität Hamburg to become a University for a Sustainable Future in research, teaching, education, and administration.

We proposed measures for sustainable development, guided the University's sustainable transformation, initiated and fostered sustainable development projects, strengthened internal and external sustainability networks, and served as a think tank and experimental laboratory.
