Since December 2023, TU Bergakademie Freiberg has been participating in the joint project . In this project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, our university - along with a total of 14 other selected universities - is supported by netzwerk n, the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development and the University of Vechta. The funding consists of training, advice and network exchange.
The aim of the project is to reduce the university's greenhouse gas emissions by 10%, to develop a climate protection concept as part of a long-term, institution-wide approach and to implement this step by step. One of the central elements in the sustainability transformation process is the empowerment of students. This is achieved in particular through their involvement in the so-called "ZKH task force", which continuously supports and promotes the project at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. The task force brings together all status groups at the university.
