Sustainability Award

Impact Cup

Sustainability is a joint task. The sustainability offices of TU Dortmund University and Fachhochschule Dortmund receive indispensable support from the expertise and commitment of the faculties, central administration and students.

With the joint sustainability award of TU Dortmund University and Fachhochschule Dortmund, the cooperating sustainability offices thank those institutions, departments or individuals who are particularly committed to the topic of sustainability.

Since 2024, the “Impact Cup” has been awarded once a year during Sustainability Week as part of a casual get-together to which all members of the universities are cordially invited.

The trophies were designed by TU trainees from the Technical Product Design department and built with the support of the TU Model Making Workshop: A floating metal watering can above a green (real!) plant symbolizes sustainability, which should grow through shared care and commitment. Regional and sustainably grown wood was used for the production.
