New SDG Center: Strong wordmark honored

Three prize winners with a common idea: Prof. Dr. Angela Schrott (Institute for Romance Studies, University of Kassel), Daniel Opper (UniKasselTransfer) and Lars Wächter, a graduate commercial teacher from Kassel, were honored by the university's president, Prof. Dr. Ute Clement, at a small ceremony for independently coming up with the word mark "Kassel Institute for Sustainability".

Clement presented them with gifts from the Uni anniversary collection as a token of gratitude. "The name not only succinctly underlines the visibility of the new center, but it is also a strong brand with international appeal," Clement emphasized.

The name sought should be internationally understandable and therefore in English. As its core message, it should contain the terms "sustainable" or "sustainability," in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN).

At the new Kassel Institute for Sustainability, up to 17 professorships will be established and new courses of study will be created. Not only will new courses of study be created in German and English, but existing courses of study will also be relieved and their quality further improved. The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations comprise 17 objectives that are to contribute to securing sustainable development worldwide on an ecological, social and economic level.
