Sustainability has become a key issue for humanity and is of particular importance to society now more than ever. The Faculty of Medicine is also facing up to the challenge of contributing to the careful use of ecological, economic and social resources through its actions. In doing so, we are guided by the TUM Sustainability Futures Strategy and are making sustainability part of our future agenda.
What does sustainability mean for us in concrete terms?
The TUM Center for Global Health deals with global health and disease prevention.
Other projects, some in cooperation with the University Hospital rechts der Isar, for example, deal with the reduction of greenhouse gases in anesthesiology.
TUM Sustainability Day 2024 - we walk the talk
The sustainable transformation of our society is a concern that we address with commitment and responsibility. We pursue a comprehensive approach, as ecological limits, economic stability and social justice are inextricably linked. We set ourselves ambitious goals and take into account the complexity of the issue of sustainability and its various interactions. In doing so, we put people at the center: sustainability lives through responsibility - and also through the daily actions of our students, lecturers, researchers and all employees.
With the TUM Sustainability Day on June 12, 2024, we invite you to experience the diversity of sustainability topics and activities at TUM. Let yourself be inspired. Network and get involved.
The Sustainability Day at the Garching research campus - conceived as a "Sustainability Festival" - is designed to inform, inspire and entertain.
Market of opportunities: On Sustainability Day, the main hall of the Mechanical Engineering building in Garching will be transformed into a sustainability fair. You can exhibit your ideas and projects on the topic of sustainability at your own stand.
Impetus for sustainability: Organize an exciting workshop, share your expertise in an inspiring lecture or present an interactive session. There are no limits to your creativity in terms of content and format. Of course, you can also involve external partners here.
