Participation
Participation
The participation of university members and other interest groups is a relevant component of climate protection and sustainability work at the University of Oldenburg. The climate protection management team offers specific opportunities for interested parties to get involved, such as the Green Team and the Sustainability Sounding Board.
Sustainability Sounding Board
The idea
The Sustainability Sounding Board will take place for the first time at the UOL in the summer semester 2025. In future, the meetings will be offered once a semester and invitations will be issued to the university public. The current and planned activities on the topic of sustainability at the University of Oldenburg will be presented in this board. Topic-specific discussion impulses are also offered. Participants can also ask questions and make suggestions in this context. Those interested in sustainability at the university can network and exchange ideas with each other. In this way, current or upcoming projects can be taken forward or new projects can be developed together.
The first meeting
The inaugural meeting of the Sustainability Sounding Board will take place in May and we look forward to working with you to drive forward the university's sustainability issues.
The key dates are:
We would like to focus on the following questions for the meeting:
- How can we use the Sustainability Sounding Board to advance sustainability issues?
- Which topics are of particular interest to you in the context of sustainability?
- What is particularly important to you when implementing sustainability measures?
- In which areas would you like to get involved as a member of the university?
- In your opinion, what potential in the area of sustainability has not yet been fully utilised at our university and how can we improve this?
If you are particularly interested in a certain topic and would like to include it in this or a future session, please let us know on the registration form. We will endeavour to take these requests into account.
Green Team
An increasing number of university members are interested in getting involved in specific sustainability projects on campus. In order to reach and involve these people in a targeted manner, the Climate Protection Management offers a so-called "Green Team". This is a non-binding mailing list whose subscribers are regularly contacted and invited to participate in smaller, tangible projects (e.g. providing nesting boxes on campus). In addition, the Green Team serves as a networking platform so that interested parties can find other supporters for their own projects and, if necessary, implement them independently. There is a direct link to climate protection management and financial support is possible via the sustainability program line. The Green Team is supervised by the Climate Protection Management.
Are you interested in being part of the Green Team? Send us an e-mail to klimaschutz@uol.de.
