The TUmorrow Sustainability Awards got off to an excellent start. In the categories "Student Commitment", "Outstanding Thesis" and "Outstanding Course", special commitment to the topic of sustainability at TU Braunschweig was awarded the coveted trophies. Photo credit: Ahmed Nassef/TU Braunschweig

At the end of the first day, there was sustainable dancing. At the TUmorrow Beats, the music came directly from the solar-powered music system. Photo credit: Ahmed Nassef/TU Braunschweig

Those who were in the mood for sporting activity could also compete with others in the well-known round robin around the table tennis table. Photo credit: Ahmed Nassef/TU Braunschweig

The workshops offered very different approaches to the topic of sustainability. For example, they dealt with waste separation, diversity-sensitive event organisation or climate-conscious semesters abroad. Photo credit: Madeleine Franke/TU Braunschweig

Dietmar Smyrek, Vice President for Human Resources, Finance and Infrastructure, also discussed with TU members the extent to which administrative levers can accelerate sustainability processes. Photo credit: Madeleine Franke/TU Braunschweig

At the Market of Opportunities, numerous student initiatives presented themselves and showed how they are working for a more sustainable future. Photo credit: Kristina Rottig/TU Braunschweig

The ClimateCrisisClock is probably one of the few countdowns that we hope will never expire. For today, however, the clock is already ticking and shows how much time is left to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. Photo credit: Kristina Rottig/TU Braunschweig.
