Since the winter semester 2021, the student team of "SustainAbility: Understanding & Implementing Sustainability" has been organizing a series of events on the basics of sustainability, especially the climate crisis. The lecture series takes a holistic look at the topic from different perspectives and discusses ways to make your own life as sustainable as possible.

The events are offered to students of all semesters, TUD employees, high school students, senior citizens and all other interested people outside the TUD. The events are also suitable for newcomers to the topic, as the content does not require any prior knowledge and is presented in an understandable way. This distinguishes the lecture series from the tuuwi's more in-depth environmental lectures. The recordings of all lectures held so far can be found on the Videocampus Sachsen.

SustainAbility is once again offering an exciting lecture series in the summer semester 2024. This will take place from 11.04.2024 on Thursdays from 16:40-18:10 (6th DS) in MOL/213/H (walk around the building to find the lecture hall). Participation is possible on site, digitally synchronously via Zoom or asynchronously via lecture recordings.

We cordially invite everyone to participate in the lecture series! No prior knowledge is required for the lecture, which is why it offers a good introduction to the topic. At the same time, a broad spectrum of topics is covered, so that people can certainly learn new, interesting facts, even if they have already dealt with the topic of sustainability in depth.
