University of Kassel as a pilot university in the DBU project on sustainability assessment of universities
At its core, the project, which was launched at the Technische Universität (TU) Dresden in April 2021 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Remmer Sassen, aims to standardize sustainability criteria through the participatory definition of sustainability criteria in the form of an indicator catalog and the design of a web-based benchmark system and focuses on the higher education fields of action Teaching, research, transfer, governance and operations. As of today, 18 universities have already confirmed their participation as pilot universities. A further 18 universities are participating in the project as interested universities. At least five to ten indicators will be defined for each field of action and scales will be developed to operationalize them. On this basis, scoring will be possible, for which a label with different levels can be awarded. This should be a key success factor and ensure a certain degree of competition between universities. Standardization can make the continuous improvement process within the universities measurable and controllable for university policy. Reports from at least ten universities will be published by the end of the project. Independent, demand-oriented continuation for regular reporting is to be guaranteed even after the end of the project. Further information...
