Hoch-N: Sustainability at tertiary institutions: developing - networking – reporting

In which way can tertiary institutions contribute to sustainable development in the fields of governance, sustainability reporting, studies, research and transfer? How can we develop a common comprehension of sustainability and transformation within the network of tertiary institutions? The project HOCH^N focuses on these and similar questions.

The Technische Universität Dresden is one of eleven core partners in this project. In cooperation with the Chair of Business Management, esp. Environmental Management we engage in striving for a more sustainable use of resources at Germany’s tertiary institutions. To achieve this goal, we are conducting the sub-project “Sustainable Mobility at Tertiary Institutions”, within which a CO₂ record of University staff will be issued. In addition, we will develop a guideline identifying the measures tertiary institutions can realize regarding mobility.
