Hand in hand towards more sustainability
Ruhr University defines itself as a university community committed to sustainability.
Warm invitation
Students and employees are invited to contribute their ideas on the various aspects of sustainability, for example in one of the think tank's working groups. Ideas for projects and activities related to sustainability are always welcome at the Sustainability Office.
Sustainability Task Force
The Sustainability Task Force is jointly chaired by Rector Prof. Dr. Martin Paul and the Ruhr-Universität's Sustainability Officer Prof. Dr. Andreas Löschel. Its goal is the development as well as the implementation of a sustainability strategy at the Ruhr-Universität. The Task Force is in regular exchange with the Sustainability Think Tank, the Green Office as well as groups and initiatives interested in sustainability on campus.
Everyone involved in the Sustainability Task Force is united by the fact that we want to get things done. We want to implement, we want to show that sustainable projects are good - for our students and for our university.

Sustainability think tank
The Sustainability Think Tank began its work in February 2021 and accompanies the strategy process in close cooperation with the Task Force. It sees itself as a space for ideas and discussion and is open to all university members.
In groups, participants of the think tank work out concepts that are then implemented university-wide via the Sustainability Task Force. Interested university members are cordially invited to participate in the meetings of the Sustainability Think Tank and to get involved in the working groups:
- WG Study and Teaching
led by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Susteck - WG Sustainable University Library
led by Dr. Vivian Strotmann - WG Sustainability of the Center for Science Didactics
led by Dr. Peter Salden - WG Sustainability Week
(deals with the content and organization of the sustainability week in October)
led by Dr. Timo Klünder - other temporary groups
A Moodle course is used to coordinate appointments, post minutes, and hold discussions.
