You stand up for sustainable development in your area of expertise?

- You teach contents of e. g. renewable energy, sustainable marketing, CSR, eco-tourism or similar?

- You want to share and teach your ideas with professors and students at NGU in Southwest Germany?

If so we invite you to join us in the

International Week on Sustainable Development

Concept:

International lecturers give 4 classes (90 min each = total of 8 teaching hours) within the courses of NGU peers of the same area of expertise. The focus of these lectures will be on sustainable development in the given area with special attention to the difference between the home countries of the visiting lecturers and Germany.

Evening presentations open to all university members will give the opportunity for scientific exchange among the invited lecturers as well as staff and students from NGU.

Around the teaching activities and in the evenings a framework program (e. g. guided city walks with focus on e-mobility and green infrastructure, visit of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Swabian Alb) will be offered for the lecturers.
