Virtual Sustainability Talk

in the framework of the 6th Hessian Sustainability Day

As a source of science and education, we have the opportunity like hardly any other stakeholder in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region to develop solutions for all 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations. As an interdisciplinary university of applied sciences, we have been delivering research results that can protect our fragile world for decades. Every year, we release over 2000 graduates from our approximately 70 degree programs. In all our students, our teachers try to ignite the spark of sustainability in order that they may ignite this spark into a fire in their future great tasks. Is that already enough? We don't think so, because standing still is regression. That is why we would like to discuss and develop new ideas together with all of you, our students, teachers and employees. We were pleased that you have joined us in our public sustainability talk (see compilation).
