Sustainability Committee

Sustainability Committee

TU Braunschweig strives to manage its decisions and processes in all areas of operation, research and teaching in such a way that all essential aspects of sustainability have very high priority. Climate protection and the careful use of energy and natural resources are of particular importance.

The Sustainability Committee provides essential support to all organisational units and especially to the university management in this endeavour. It was founded as a joint commission of the Senate and the Executive Board on 1 April 2023. This will consolidate and further develop the activities of the Sustainability Working Group.
