Review: Workshop on "Energy and sustainability at TU Dresden"

The workshop on "Energy and Sustainability at TU Dresden" took place on 30.05.2024 with the aim of advancing the linking of the energy research strategy with the sustainability strategy and the future development of an Emerging Field "Energy Systems".

Organized and accompanied by Dr.-Ing. Nicolle Seifert (Project Scout School of Engineering Sciences) and Dr.-Ing. Anja Blüher (Science Management School of Engineering Sciences), there was an intensive exchange between the moderating members of the Vice-Rectorate, scientists and students at the topic tables 1. strategy with a view to campus, mobility and sustainability, 2. strategy with a view to energy research and 3. teaching strategies, interdisciplinarity and Master's programmes. This enabled a wide range of perspectives and opinions to be collected on the topics of excellent energy research, modern teaching formats and content with the cross-cutting issues of sustainability, internationalization and interdisciplinarity. All participants attached great importance to transparent and comprehensible communication for the visibility of these topics. As a result, the common goal was formulated to identify and network intersections and existing competencies of different areas of TUD in order to make an excellent contribution to the global Sustainable Goals (SDGs) through the further development of sustainable teaching and energy research at TU Dresden.

A follow-up is to take place in 2024. We are once again hoping for numerous participants for innovative contributions and discussions. For the planning of the next workshop, the previous contributions will be evaluated and analyzed. As soon as the final concept is available, the participants will be informed and invited. The group of participants will also be opened up to other people.

Thank you for your participation!
