Lecture on ecological sustainability

Climate crisis: drivers, impacts, solutions

Since the winter semester 2021/22, the basic lecture series on ecological sustainability will be held at TU Dresden. Organised by students, this lecture series offers the opportunity to deal with ecological sustainability from different perspectives.

The lecture is designed to reach as many people as possible. This means that high school students, first-year students, students in higher semesters as well as employees with or without prior knowledge are invited to attend. The content is presented in a way that is easy to understand. The basic lecture differs in this respect from the thematically more in-depth known environmental ring lectures from the Tuuwi.

Students have the opportunity to link basic content with topics specific to their course of study. Since the topic is also highly relevant in the university context, students can receive credits for successful participation (certificate of attendance, 1ECTS). In addition, the lecture can also be completed with an exam and brought into the curriculum as a free elective course (written examination or other examination formats, 3ECTS). Furthermore, it is possible to have this course credited for the Studium Oecologicum.

This lecture is made accessible to as many people as possible by recording the lectures on site and making them digitally accessible. The lecture will be mostly held in German.

It doesn't matter if you have already dealt with the topic in-depth or if the field is relatively new to you. Either way: Everyone is invited to learn new things in an interdisciplinary way about what is probably the most urgent topic of our time!

Venue and time

The lecture will take place every Thursday in the 6th double period (4:40 - 6:10 pm) from 13.10.2022 in the HSZ/004/H and partly online.
