BIRKENFELD. In the educational landscape of Germany, the Birkenfeld environmental campus at the Trier University of Applied Sciences is honored for its exemplary achievements in the field of sustainability. The nomination for the German Sustainability Prize 2025 in Düsseldorf on November 28, 2024 is proof of the continuous commitment of the institution.

The importance of nomination

Nomination for the German Sustainability Award is one of the highest awards in the area of ​​sustainability in Germany. The price aims to appreciate people and institutions who can show environmentally conscious action and sustainable corporate management, especially with regard to social innovation. This recognition not only emphasizes the importance of the environmental campus, but also draws attention to the need and relevance of sustainability in education.

challenge and commitment in the competition

In a tough competition against well-known universities such as the University of Hamburg and the Technical University of Munich, the environmental campus is nominated in two categories: "training and further education" as well as "schools and universities". The sustainability officer, Prof. Dr. Klaus Helling, comments: "It is a considerable performance to make it again in the top 10 in two categories." This placement illustrates the continuing efforts of the university to link education and environmental awareness.

innovative approaches in studies and research

The university has achieved significant success in the area of ​​third -party funds, with almost 12 million euros for sustainability -related projects in 2023. The Institute for Applied Stoff Strom Management (IFAS), which has over five million euros, is particularly noteworthy. This positions the Department of Environmental Economics/Environmental Law nationwide at the head of the faculties, which makes the relevance of the innovations in the environmental campus clear.

a strong regional voice

The Birkenfeld environmental campus plays a key role in the region because it was the only university from Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. This underlines the pioneering role of the institution in the training of specialists who face the challenge of climate change and sustainable development. The range of courses includes innovative educational offers in the areas of business administration, law, computer science and more - all this with a clear focus on sustainability.

Invitation to participate

prospective students should not miss the upcoming application deadline. For the winter semester 2024/2025, registers are possible until September 23, 2024, especially for the approval -free courses.

Nomination for the German Sustainability Award is not only a success for the Birkenfeld environmental campus, but a sign of the development and importance of sustainable practices in university formation. It shows how educational institutions can actively work on the solution of global challenges.
