This structure and clarity was defined in the concept for the sustainable development of the university in order to include all areas: Research, teaching, knowledge transfer and operations equally into the overall sustainable process.
The concept combines strategic management issues with the operational implementation level. It includes: Guidelines for improving environmental performance, an overview of the new organizational structure as well as steering measures to increase intra-university commitment in terms of a sustainable organizational culture and to increase transparency, communication and participation in the development process.
