Key developments 2023-2024

A key milestone was the introduction of the new Bachelor's certificate programme ‘Integrative Sustainability Management’ (SuM) in September 2024. Moreover, a total of 21 formats and initiatives were developed as part of Teach for Impact to support lecturers and programme managers in integrating sustainability topics into their courses. Furthermore, the conceptual foundation was laid for the further development of ECOnnect's co-curricular support programme into NextGen Impact – a transdisciplinary initiative in which students can develop, test and implement ideas in the field of sustainability.
