Strategy

The process of developing a university-wide sustainability strategy at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences commenced with the founding of the Sustainability Working Group (AG Nachhaltigkeit) in April 2021. The strategy itself serves to implement the goals set out in the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The working group, led simultaneously by the university’s Vice President for Research, Transfer and Sustainability, Sabine Tischew, and the Head of Administration, Sabine Thalmann - and also in conjunction with departmental and student representatives from across the entire university - aims to initiate a bottom-up process to define essential fields of action as well as reach joint agreements concerning the targets of those actions. In July 2022, the university’s Sustainability Strategy was passed by the Senate of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences.
