Our Action Fields
With the aim of setting priorities and focusing the content of the TUM Sustainable Futures Strategy 2030, six interlinked action fields were identified. In this way, we address our legally defined areas of responsibility and our self-image as a responsibly acting, entrepreneurial university and, in the sense of a global marketplace of knowledge, make important contributions to the international exchange of best practices for sustainable development.
Research
With our research objectives and fields, we promote inter- and transdisciplinary as well as international cooperation with partners from science, business and politics, combined with a resource-conscious approach.
Entrepreneurship
The ideas of researchers and students turn into innovative and viable companies that use sustainable approaches to reshape our society and economy. We help entrepreneurs seize this opportunity.
Campus and Resources
Recognising our duty to society, we are actively addressing a diverse range of challenges, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and mobility issues, to improving resource management, biodiversity, equality and inclusion. In addition, we are committed to creating sustainable learning and working environments, thus fulfilling our commitment to social responsibility.
Study and Teaching
We motivate students to develop their own understanding of sustainability and equip them with the necessary skills in interdisciplinary courses. We provide lecturers with further training on sustainability in teaching.
Lifelong Learning
The TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning offers professionals inside and outside TUM a wide range of opportunities to strengthen their skills in the area of sustainability in order to respond flexibly to change and remain competitive throughout their lives.
