Culture of Sustainability (KdN) – Hub

25.04.24 | From goal to normality: a culture of sustainability at universities

The German Rectors’ Conference has spoken out in favor of a culture of sustainability at universities. But what characterizes a culture of sustainability at universities and in the higher education system? How can a cultural change be supported?

As part of the funding guideline “Transformation paths for sustainable universities”, the accompanying research TraNHSform is organizing a hub series on various cross-project, relevant topics.

At the start of this hub series, we presented our understanding of our work (based on DUZ article in DUZ Wissenschaft & Management, 02/2024) and then discussed in plenary and break-out sessions how sustainability can become the new normal at universities. The presentation can be downloaded here: Presentation of the KdN Hub from 25.04.24

Further hubs to explore the topic in greater depth are planned and will be announced on the following page: Hub – Transformation Pathways for Sustainable Universities – HochN-Wiki (dg-hochn.de). Furthermore, there will soon be an entry on the DG HochN Wiki on the topic of the culture of sustainability.
