Lecture series on sustainable development
Dealing sustainably with each other and with the resources of our environment is the topic of the 21st century. Social, climate and Business Studies need to be harmonized.
In order to address this complex of topics, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts has launched the "Sustainable Development Lecture Series". Lecturers at our university highlight and discuss selected aspects of sustainability from an ecological, economic or social perspective.
The lecture series emerged from the student initiative "Studium Oecologicum", which was launched last year.
