The first EUTOPA Day will take place on May 13 at the 10 partner universities of the EUTOPIA University Alliance. Under the theme "Climate Change", sustainability experts and EUTOPIA members will come together in various workshops, lectures and online events. In its first edition, this annual event aims to promote dialog and action on pressing global challenges, with a special focus on sustainability and climate change. Each university will organize campus activities, while a central event with Rectors, Vice-Rectors and experts will take place in the afternoon.

A discussion on "Challenges for climate change and sustainability: What can the EUTOPIA Alliance contribute to solving global and local climate problems?" will bring together local student initiatives and subject matter experts at TU Dresden. The aim is to bring together and promote effective initiatives, develop new ideas and expand the community of passionate people who are committed to climate protection.

After the discussion, all EUTOPIA partners will come together in an online session where experts will discuss sustainability and climate change issues. From Dresden, Rector Prof. Ursula Staudinger and Prof. Edeltraut Günther, Director at the Institute for Integrated Material Flow and Resource Management at the United Nations University (UNU-FLORES), will take part in the online debate.
