Detailed information on the project
Background to the position
To date, the current recording of travel data is not geared towards being able to determine the
greenhouse gas emissions generated from the data. The core task of the student assistant is to examine the current
processes, taking into account the legal requirements and regulations, and to develop proposals for solutions as to how the processes could be designed in the future to enable emissions to be determined in accordance with the source. In doing so, the efficient handling of administrative activities must be taken into account.
Tasks:
- Detailed analysis of the current processes for applying for and settling business trips in consultation with the relevant administrative employees
- Comparison of the current situation with the requirements for determining greenhouse gas emissions

Goal
The aim of the project is to create an integrated climate protection concept (IKK) for the university.
The university is endeavouring to achieve climate neutrality.
Contents
With the involvement of the various stakeholders and university members, an integrated climate protection concept is being drawn up as part of this project, which covers the key areas in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. energy, mobility, etc.).
To this end, a greenhouse gas balance sheet for the university will first be drawn up with external support so that the key areas for action can be identified. Specific targets for reducing emissions are then set in various participatory processes and measures are developed in line with these targets.
Interactive stakeholder participation and communication processes take place throughout the duration of the project.
The funding programme of the National Climate Initiative
With the National Climate Initiative, the Federal Environment Ministry has been initiating and funding numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions since 2008. Its programmes and projects cover a broad spectrum of climate protection activities: From the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment support measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Initiative helps to anchor climate protection on the ground. It benefits consumers as well as companies, local authorities and educational institutions.
