Do you organize workshops, conferences and other events at the university? Join our "Sustainable event organization" network!

The Sustain Group is all about sustainable event management. Our diverse network looks at the topic from different angles. For example, we have already developed a checklist for sustainable catering. We are currently preparing a framework agreement for sustainable catering with the central materials management department, which is due to be launched at the start of 2025. Another project is the creation of a guideline for sustainable event organization at the University of Kassel. In preparation for this, a training course on sustainable event management was organized for secretariats. Another idea we are currently working on is the establishment of a university-wide lending service for event equipment. To this end, we are planning a cooperation with Allerleih e.V. We cordially invite you to develop these ideas further with us.

How can we make sustainable forms of mobility on and around campus more attractive?

What can we do to get even more staff and students to the university by public transport, on foot or by bike? We are committed to more sustainable mobility on campus. Show us your ideas and join our team!

Make the topic of sustainability at the university more visible with us!

Many measures and activities relating to sustainability are still little known within the university. Our Sustain Group would like to create a virtual pinboard, the Sustain Board, where sustainable events, projects and information can be bundled and made visible. We would also like to make the topic of sustainability tangible for everyone with a Sustain Tour of the campus. We cordially invite you to continue planning the projects with us.

We are looking for your ideas for a sustainable University of Kassel

Sustainability projects at the University of Kassel are initiated and made visible via the Project Factory. Discover a wide range of sustainability projects from the Green Office and from students and staff. Share your own idea for a more sustainable university on the project marketplace. Refine your idea and bring your project to fruition together with other students and employees. The Green Office supports you with the Sustain Group "Project Factory" in the implementation process of your project and is there to help and advise you. Come to our meeting and tell us about your ideas!

We want to make the sustainability community in Kassel and the surrounding area more visible!

There are numerous great associations and initiatives in Kassel that deal with the topic of sustainability. Many stores and restaurateurs also offer sustainable and fair products. We want to make this diversity visible on the map of tomorrow Kassel, the sustainability city map for Kassel. Join us and support us in networking and increasing the visibility of sustainability initiatives! Our aim is to become strong together, promote diversity and enrich each other. The Sustainability City Plan is just the beginning - let's continue planning together and join the team! You can pick up the freshly printed Sustainability City Plan at our Green Office stand in the Campus Center on 16.10. from 5 pm.

The Green Office is offering the challenge as part of the SDG+ Challenge of the SDG+ Lab. You can find more information here.

Get involved in our new challenge! Together, we want to develop playful incentives for more sustainability & health on campus, e.g. a course with small movement and thinking tasks.

For more sustainability at the University of Kassel

Join our Sustain Groups! We meet about once a month in the Green Office to discuss specific topics and advance our sustainability ideas together! Staff and students from all areas of the university are involved in our Sustain Groups. Every meeting is different. Sometimes we plan and discuss, sometimes there is a lecture or we organize a guided tour of the campus. Curious? Get in touch!
