19.06.2025, 11.10 - 12.30 Real-world laboratory tdCON - Strategies for greenhouse gas neutrality at the Chair of Industrial Design Engineering

Location: POT/168

Registration: https: //tu-dresden.de/tu-dresden/nachhaltigkeit/mitmachen/veranstaltungen/nachhaltigkeitswoche/anmeldung-nachhaltigkeitswoche

In the tdCON real-world laboratory, we are developing strategies to make the Chair of Industrial Design Engineering greenhouse gas neutral - including in the areas of electricity consumption, thermal energy, business travel and everyday mobility. We will present the process of data collection, the identification of major CO2 emitters, the development of reduction strategies, the search for credible compensation measures and our approach to conflicting goals.

How can scientific exchange continue to succeed when air travel has to be critically scrutinized? How can sustainability be anchored in research and teaching in the long term? And: Can the original goal of making the Chair CO2-neutral be realized?

23.06.2025, 14.50 - 16.20 Ideas workshop on climate protection and sustainability

Location: probably POT/013
