In order to concretize the goals of the Declaration of Principles on Sustainability of the University of Jena, a sustainability strategy has been developed in a participatory manner since the summer semester of 2022.
As one of the largest educational institutions and innovation spaces in Thuringia, the University of Jena has a responsibility to commit to sustainable development in light of the urgency of societal transformation processes. In all university areas, goals and measures are required that reduce the university's consumption of resources and anchor sustainability in the university's everyday culture.
