Sustainability Commission of the Department of Computer Science

Since July 2022, the Sustainability Commission of the Department of Computer Science has been committed to the topic of sustainability with continuity and beyond the expected level. Professors, academic and non-academic staff and students work together and coordinate projects that promote sustainable action in research and teaching. With the introduction of the Sustainability Award of the Department of Computer Science and the lecture series "Computer Science and Sustainability", the commission serves as a role model. With their personal commitment, the representatives of the commission have firmly anchored the topic of sustainability in the Department of Computer Science and created a competent and binding contact point for the faculty members, from which the sustainability officers of the other departments and not least the Sustainability Office also benefit immensely.
