Time

14:00 - 15:30

Location

Library, Sankt Augustin Campus

In addition to climate protection, adaptation to the consequences of climate change is becoming increasingly important. At our Hochschule Bonn Rhein Sieg, University of Applied Sciences, numerous experts from science and administration are also working on solutions, strategies and concrete measures for climate adaptation; and in interdisciplinary formats, students learn and conduct research on the topic.

The event "Green and digital! - Towards a climate-resilient university" is intended to visualise the diverse interdisciplinary contributions and initiatives from administration and science and to promote exchange between the people involved. In addition to short impulse contributions from various areas of the university, the focus is on networking and joint dialogue.

All interested parties - including those outside the university - are cordially invited to find out more and join in the discussion.

Participation in the event is for free.
