It is becoming a reality: in research and teaching, in procurement and committee work, in student engagement \u2013 and in the way we interact on the Campus.<\/p>\n<p>The TUmorrow Days programme took place at various locations. At the public meeting of the Sustainability Council in the Forum Building, it became clear how sustainability is strategically embedded and further developed. A training session on climate-friendly procurement addressed the question of how even everyday administrative decisions can have an impact. At the Universum cinema, the screening of the climate change documentary \u2018The Weight of the World\u2019 created a space for reflection and discussion.<\/p>\n<p>In between, the Green Office was out and about at various campus locations with a Fairtrade Coffee Bike. There was free coffee \u2013 and, above all, an invitation to stop for a moment: to start a conversation about what is already happening at TU Braunschweig in the areas of the future and sustainability. And about what is still possible.<\/p>\n<h3>TUmorrow Awards: Award-winning ideas for a sustainable future<\/h3>\n<p>A highlight of the TUmorrow Days was the TUmorrow Awards. Through these, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tu-braunschweig.de\/nachhaltigkeit\/greenoffice\">Green Office<\/a> recognises scientific papers, student engagement and teaching formats that contribute to sustainable development in line with the United Nations\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/sdg-portal.de\/de\/\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>. University members had until the end of April to submit applications and nominations. An interdisciplinary jury assessed the entries. This year, awards were given to works and projects that demonstrate just how tangible sustainability can be at a university.<\/p>\n<p>Two prizes were awarded in the <b>theses<\/b> category: <b>Yasmin Hildebrand<\/b> was honoured for her Bachelor\u2019s thesis. In it, she investigated the pyrolysis (thermal decomposition of chemical compounds) of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic components using a microwave plasma jet to recover carbon fibres. For her Master\u2019s thesis, <b>Esra \u00d6zcan<\/b> received the prize for her investigations into the chloride penetration resistance of eco-concretes with recycled aggregate, in order to assess, for example, the risk of corrosion of the reinforcement due to de-icing salt or seawater.<\/p>\n<p>In the <b>Student Engagement<\/b> category, <b>Charlotta Steinweg, Amelie Rother and Sarina S\u00f6hl<\/b>\u00a0were honoured for their project \u201cFree menstrual products at TU Braunschweig\u201d. The prize for an <b>outstanding course<\/b> was awarded to <b>Professor Bastian Kindermann and Till B\u00f6ckmann<\/b> for \u201cSustainable Entrepreneurship\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This year also saw the presentation of six teaching projects that are being funded for the first time as part of the \u201cTeaching the Future 2026\/27\u201d ideas competition. Through this competition, the Green Office specifically supports teaching approaches that integrate various aspects of sustainability into the curriculum.<\/p>\n<h3>Diversity is also part of the future<\/h3>\n<p>As every year, the Pride flag was raised on the Campus during the TUmorrow Days. Students, staff and the wider community accepted the invitation from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tu-braunschweig.de\/chancengleichheit\/koordinierungsstellediversity\">Diversity Office<\/a> and together sent a message in support of queer representation, diversity and the principle that every person is of equal value \u2013 regardless of their sexual identity, background or appearance. At universities, diversity is not merely a \u201cnice-to-have\u201d; it is a prerequisite for excellent research, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dfg.de\/de\/grundlagen-themen\/grundlagen-und-prinzipien-der-foerderung\/chancengleichheit\">German Research Foundation (DFG)<\/a> also states on its website: \u201cExcellent science requires diversity and originality.\u201d The Executive Board of TU Braunschweig is united in its belief that diversity of people and perspectives is essential for a democratic and vibrant campus life, as well as for top-level research with a global reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 8 to 11 June 2026, the TUmorrow Days demonstrated &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":81,"featured_media":83035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-83014","kb_magazin","type-kb_magazin","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kb_cat_magazin-campus-life","kb_tags-awards","kb_tags-diversity-en","kb_tags-equality","kb_tags-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
