In the third and final practical talk of this summer semester, we welcomed SEM alumna Laura Hohmann, who works in New York at CDP North America - a global, independent NGO in the field of sustainability reporting and disclosure of environmental data. Laura gave an impressive insight into the work of CDP and emphasised that the path to sustainable business is not only shaped by political guidelines, but also by bottom-up initiatives. It became clear that sustainability is a strategic issue that affects companies, investors and political decision-makers alike. With practical examples and an international perspective, Laura explained how transparency can be an effective instrument for change. A big thank you for the exciting contribution - and to all participants in Impact & Insights this summer term!

The second practical talk in the "Impact & Insights - Sustainability on the Job" format on 14 May was all about the social aspect of sustainability. SEM alumna Olga Vinnica from JANUN Oldenburg e.V. gave exciting insights into her work in youth and educational work for sustainable development. With great commitment, she showed how social change can be shaped socially - through participation, empowerment and creative projects for and with young people.

The "Impact & Insights" event series brings together practitioners and experts from the field of sustainability with SEM students. They report on their day-to-day work, share their experiences and explain the key requirements and current developments in their field of work. This summer semester will continue on 4 June with Laura Hohmann from CDP Inc. North America at 16:00 in room A05 0-056.

The first event of the new discussion and networking format "Impact & Insights - Sustainability on the Job" kicked off on 23 April and was very well received. The first event focussed on everything to do with wind and solar energy projects. The two SEM alumni and speakers from the wpd Group, Marco Brünjes and Fabian Gruben, gave exciting insights into their daily work, highlighted current developments in the industry and did not spare any honest words on challenges and future opportunities. The event was enriched by many interested questions and the open exchange with the students - thank you very much for that!

After the successful start of the first event, the second Praxistalk will follow on 14 May. At this event, Olga Vinnica from JANUN e.V. will provide exciting insights into the social field of sustainability, especially educational and networking work with young people. We look forward to another inspiring round - and to your continued great interest!

The NachDenkstatt 2024 is just around the corner! From 01 to 03 November 2024, everything will revolve around the topic of "HandsOn".

The NachDenkstatt is an interdisciplinary conference at which experts from various fields discuss sustainability issues together with students, Oldenburg citizens and interested parties from all over Germany. We organise inspiring keynote speeches and practice-oriented workshops that focus on developing concrete solutions.

This year, we want to raise awareness of the concept of the ecological handprint and explore which solutions already exist in various areas of life and how participants can take action themselves.

Make a note of the date now. Detailed information on registration, the programme and our speakers will follow shortly. You are also welcome to visit our homepage or Instagram @nachdenkstatt.

We look forward to an exciting Nachdenkstatt with you.

The Nachdenkstatt team

Over the past few weeks, all the SEMis who wanted to have a go met up every week to play football on the university's artificial pitch. The beginning of June was the big day for 1st FC SEM: our match day in the university league was coming up. Even though it wasn't enough for us to make it through to the next round, it was a great day for our team. And because it was so much fun, the regular kick meetings will continue after the Uniliga.

"Sustainability managers who want to be 'everybody's darling' are doing something wrong. You have to be 'annoying' (internally) to drive change." On 2 May, a panel on corporate sustainability took place at the University of Oldenburg, which was primarily aimed at SEM students. The event was organised by the Haufe Group in co-operation with the Chair of Ecological Economics and marked the start of the new Campus Roadshow format.

This kick-off event was organised by the sustainability managers Rieke Oetken and Fenna Papcke from EWE AG and Sandra Broschat, who is in charge of sustainability at SV Werder Bremen GmbH & Co KG aA. In a panel discussion, they reported on their day-to-day work and answered the students' questions. They discussed topics such as their own understanding of their role, the CSRD reporting obligation and the question of whether public pressure on companies is growing. "Shareholders and major customers are also asking: How sustainable are you? The pressure from the capital market is clearly noticeable," reports Fenna Papcke. The speakers also agreed that the topic of sustainability needs to be viewed holistically and driven forward more quickly: "The whole topic needs to be turned inside out, but the journey is going far too slowly," criticised Sandra Broschat, for example. Afterwards, the sustainability managers and students chatted over snacks and drinks.

The University of Oldenburg awarded the Teaching Prize in various categories on 30 November. Lecturers from the SEM Master's programme were honoured in two of four categories. Prof Dr Christian Busse and Satwant Dahiya received the prize in the "Best Course" category for their teaching module "Sustainable Supply Chain Management". The module is a compulsory module in the SEM degree programme. Sophie Berg and Dr Hendrik Wolter received the award in the "Research-based learning" category for their module "Research workshop: Dilemmas of Sustainability". The module can be taken as a supplementary module in the SEM degree programme. The awards emphasise the high quality of teaching in the SEM degree programme - an indispensable value in the dynamic development of sustainability research and teaching.

This summer semester, we once again organised a "reorientation week" in the second week of lectures. In addition to the SEM running group, which meets occasionally in Eversten Holz, there was a barbecue for all year groups, a pub quiz, a flunkyball tournament and the clubs' night out. What is particularly nice about the RO week is that SEM students from all semesters come together and can start the new semester together again after the lecture-free period.

Look forward to lots of fun and joint activities with us SEMis again next year!

The NachDenkstatt 2023 will take place again at the beginning of June! This year there will be a four-day programme:

As this year's pre-opener and foretaste of the workshop congress, the NachDenkstatt is organising a poetry slam at the university on the topic of sustainability in co-operation with the Slam-Quadrat on Thursday evening (1 June) from 7pm! Secure your ticket for €9

The workshop weekend then starts on Friday (2 June) with a non-binding Market of Opportunities in the A14 from 5 p.m., where sustainable organisations from Oldenburg will introduce themselves and there will also be a clothes swap and a screen printing event . Anyone interested can find out more and swap clothes until 7pm , after which the workshop participants will have dinner together to get to know each other and network in a relaxed atmosphere.
The core of the congress will then take place on Saturday and Sunday: The workshops on the topics of energy transition, alternative economies, mobility and seeds . The workshops will take place over the whole weekend, allowing participants to explore the topics in depth. A description of the individual workshops can be found below.
Don't have the whole weekend? Then perhaps our one-day workshop on Saturday "Climate Justice in Spoken Word" is something for you!

Participants can look forward to catering throughout the weekend and especially to a gala dinner from the organic restaurant Seidenspinner on Saturday evening.

Workshops:

Two one-day workshops - Saturday 03 June to Sunday 04 June 2023

Climate-neutral mobility in Oldenburg
Oldenburg has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2035. In this workshop, the city's previous ideas for solutions will be further developed in the form of the Mobility Plan 2030. We will focus on the following questions: What can climate-neutral mobility look like in Oldenburg? What is the current status? What course must be set today? Buy tickets here

Seed Literacy - Developing skills for diverse seeds together
Do you know what seed-resistant seeds are and what role they play in preserving biodiversity?
In this workshop you will learn that seeds as the basis of our food affects us all, even if we may not have our own garden or balcony to plant. In this workshop, we want to discuss the relevance of seed diversity for sustainable food systems and gain initial insights into theoretical and practical fields of crop conservation. We also want to look at the global dimensions of seeds. Let's grow together! Buy tickets here

Life in a donut - How can the economy respect planetary boundaries?
Imagine a sketch of a doughnut. Our planet has limits that we exceed with our way of doing business. This is the outer circle of the donut. The inner circle is the human needs that we as humanity must not fall short of. In this workshop, we will explore the question of how we can manage within these two circles.
Why do we overstep the boundaries? What do we need to change? And what is post-growth and other proposals for a sustainable economy all about?
We want to think about and discuss different proposals together. Join us (we have donuts)! Buy tickets here

Shaping the energy transition locally
Together with local initiatives (Olegeno and Oldenburger Energiecluster), you will explore the possibilities for driving forward the energy transition. We will not shy away from looking at the problems and construction sites of the further development of renewable energy structures in Oldenburg. With a sharpened eye, we will then move on to developing and, above all, exchanging ideas for solutions. Not only the people from the local projects will be there, but also representatives from the city and the trades. Buy tickets here

Day workshop - Saturday 03 June

The last word! Climate Justice in Spoken Word
Spoken word and poetry slam are more than just nice words. They are clear opinions, good ideas, strong feelings, combined with power and expression on stage. In this workshop, you can practise articulating and presenting your dreams, hopes and fears and turn them into an art to make them accessible to other people and inspire them. In the workshop, you will explore different writing techniques and genres of stage literature and produce a variety of texts that you can discuss with others and work on together. At the end of the workshop, you will have a text or idea of how you can artistically express and reinforce your ideas for a more sustainable, fairer world. Buy tickets here

We sell both combined tickets (NachDenkstatt weekend + poetry slam) as well as for both events separately.

As every year, the new semester started this October and the SEM degree programme was also pleased to welcome numerous new students. To make the start of the Master's programme as pleasant as possible, the Student council organised an orientation week before the start of lectures and a first-year trip to Neuharlingersiel.

The orientation week started with a welcome event, during which the students received important information about the degree programme and course, a possible semester abroad and initial offers and initiatives. The students were then picked up by their mentors. A tour of the university and various familiarisation games in the small groups enabled the first contacts to be made. In the evening, there was a sustainability quiz in the Flänzburch. To get to know the city better, a city rally was organised on Tuesday. An app took the groups to various places in the city and tasks were solved and games played at several stations. A flunkyball tournament took place on Wednesday. Former SEM students also took part in the tournament in Eversten Holz and networked with the new students. At the end of the day, we went to the Umbaubar. On Thursday, during a running dinner, the groups were able to visit each other's homes to enjoy starters, main courses and desserts. At the end of the day, a bike tour into the Oldenburg countryside was organised in sunny weather. There was a picnic at the Bornhorster See lake with a cheerful atmosphere.

After two weeks of lectures, the first student trip of the degree programme took place. The SEMis travelled by bus and train to their accommodation in Neuharlingersiel to spend the last weekend in October. Four members of the student body were already waiting there to welcome them. They cooked, ate, played and celebrated together. A Wadden Olympics was organised on Saturday. Five games were played in groups against each other, including the tangerine race/vegan egg race and tea bag toss. Once on the beach, the high tide and the sunny weather were perfect for a swim, which some of the SEMis took advantage of. Back at the accommodation, a Halloween party with a fancy dress competition was organised. On Sunday, we cleaned up together and headed home.

We warmly welcome our new SEMis and are delighted to have such great students with us again.

In a course on climate communication, a group of students put together their own podcast that can compete with the really big ones. You can find the podcast on Spotify.

A podcast about communicating the climate crisis. Let's give climate communication space and understand it: Why do scientists find it so difficult to be heard? Why do we hear more about the lottery numbers and sporting events in the media, while environmental disasters and the climate are insufficiently addressed? Where is our climate policy?

Together with experts, we will discuss the challenges of climate communication and get to the bottom of these questions.

Nelly Waldeck, 25 and member of the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament, will talk about climate communication in politics. Christopher Schrader, science journalist, reveals why science is not reaching our society. Sara Schurmann, journalist and co-founder of the Climate Journalism Network, explains how the climate crisis is being made invisible. When it's once again said: "Climate change has always existed!" - after listening to this podcast, you will be able to provide Uncle Werner with direct but lovingly substantiated arguments. We want to make it clear why people don't understand. At the same time, we try to give you the communication tools you need so that you don't talk yourself into a corner in the next climate discussion.

On 20 June 2022, WirtschaftsWoche magazine published the article "Greenwashing im Hörsaal?", which deals with the question of how much advertised degrees in the field of sustainable business administration often only have terms such as "sustainability", "sustainability" or "environment" in their titles or whether the compulsory modules related to sustainability actually make up the majority of the curriculum. If the latter is not the case, greenwashing at universities can be assumed. The authors Jannik Deters and Dominik Reintjes also highlight the point of view that the classic modules at the beginning of the basic Bachelor's degree programme, such as accounting, do not have to be related to sustainability at all, but that a holistic, interdisciplinary approach is important in advanced Master's programmes in order to anchor the topic of sustainability in companies and also in society. After all, there is no point in universities just giving degree programmes a "green coat of paint" and jumping on the bandwagon, but current and alternative ideas are of elementary importance for the transformation of the economy in order to establish a holistic approach.

The Master's degree programme in Sustainability Economics and Management at the University of Oldenburg receives a particularly positive mention in the article, as it allows for a flexible and interdisciplinary choice of modules, thus creating precisely those framework conditions for holistic thinking. Bernd Siebenhüner has been coordinating the Master's programme since 2006, which was launched directly after the Bologna reform. Compulsory courses in the fields of environmental or climate economics are an integral part of the curriculum and students are free to choose from a wide range of supplementary modules.

The big question hanging over the entire SEM programme is: How can we understand and ultimately solve practical sustainability problems and challenges? The programme is therefore also intended to inspire students to transfer the knowledge and problem-solving skills they have acquired into practice and apply them there. In some cases, SEM students decide to set up a company alongside their studies, such as Lea-Sophie Fass and Antonia Terriulo, who founded MYUNA UG. MYUNA is a start-up founded in Düsseldorf in 2021. Lea-Sophie is one of our SEM students and is currently in her second semester.

During their bachelor's degree, the two founders decided to counteract the further decline of retail in city centres due to the coronavirus pandemic and therefore founded MYUNA with the aim of supporting local retailers with a regionally based online platform.

Local shops are digitally mapped on this online platform. In the future, 360° images and videos will also be added. The retailers' products are collected in a shop on the platform and can be ordered there. The orders are then dispatched or can be collected directly from the shop. This gives the sellers on the platform the opportunity to reach online shoppers. MYUNA currently only operates in Düsseldorf, but would like to expand its activities to other cities in the future.

As part of the module "Nature Conservation in Practice" of the Institute of Biology and Environmental Sciences, students of the Master's programmes Sustainability Economics and Management, Water and Coastal Management, Landscape Ecology and Biology went on a 5-day excursion to the Kellerwald National Park region in Hesse. The Kellerwald National Park has been part of the existing UNESCO World Heritage Site "Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians" since 2007.

The programme included several guided hikes with rangers through the national park in the area of the Hochspeicher basin, the Edersee bay, the Frankenau archeregion and a visit to the barrier wall. A visit to the Geopark and the "DreiRaum" co-working space in Korbach were also integrated into the excursion days.

In beautiful, but not too hot weather, the students went out into nature every day and topics such as national park management, challenges of sustainability education, flora and fauna were discussed together. Identifying plants and butterflies, as well as searching for fire salamander larvae in the water, were a great activity.

There are also other excursions as part of the module, including to Scotland and the Black Forest. The aim is to provide students with knowledge about central approaches and instruments of nature conservation in Germany and Europe, in particular the implementation of large-scale protected areas, projects and measures of maintenance and management. The integration of these approaches into nature conservation and regional development strategies (via agriculture, tourism, etc.) in co-operation with protected area administrations and other relevant actors is also important.

With the start of the 2022 summer semester, the Sustainability Practice Forum is once again an integral part of the events at the Chair of Ecological Economics. The practical forum offers SEM students in particular the opportunity to gain insights into potential professional fields in various areas related to sustainability. As part of the event, practitioners and experts from politics, research, business and society are invited each semester to report on their own academic appointments as well as requirements and challenges in the context of sustainability.

SEM alumnus Fabian Gruben, who works as a project manager at German Windtechnik AG, a service company for onshore and offshore wind turbines, was a guest at the first edition of the practical forum on 5 May. In addition to the company's development in an international context and its economic potential in the field of renewable energies, Fabian reported in detail on his work as a project manager and gave a detailed insight into his workplace and the projects he manages. He also pointed out potential career fields for students in his company and rounded off the event with a personal conclusion.

We are delighted to welcome Christina Ludwig (Sustainability Consultant) and Dr Heinrich Tschochohei (Managing Director and Chief Sustainability Officer) from BTC Business Technology Consulting AG as guests at the next Sustainability Practice Forum on 16 June.

If you have any questions or suggestions about the practical forum, please contact us at the following email address:

The 2022 summer semester has started and is finally back in person! Right at the beginning of the semester, the Student Council was able to meet in person again after a long period of online meetings. The kick-off meeting was used to discuss the internal processes and organisation of the Student council.

The Student council team is starting the new semester full of motivation and commitment and wishes all students and staff at the University of Oldenburg a great start to the 2022 summer semester!

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the SEM and WCM degree programme, the student council can be contacted by prospective students, students and lecturers at the following email address:

At the end of the 2021/22 winter semester, some of the students on the "Environmental and Sustainability Governance" module accepted Joachim "Jo" Müller's invitation and travelled to Hamburg by train for a day trip. Jo Müller, who led the course with Professor Dr Bernd Siebenhüner, regularly invites students to his home city. This time, too, he had thought up a day programme for the students, which started with a relaxed pizza lunch in Ottensen. There was time for extensive conversations and discussions. The good mood was only dampened by the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine. After the best pizza in Hamburg (according to Jo Müller), the group made their way to the Elbe in perfect weather. On the boat trip across the river, the students were able to see the impressive ships and tugboats of Hamburg's transshipment harbour. Jo Müller explained the different neighbourhoods of Hamburg along the Elbe and told the story of the pirate Störtebeker. After the boat tour, we went to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall. Meanwhile, the good weather had taken its leave, so the outdoor terraces of the landmark unfortunately remained closed, much to the regret of Jo Müller, who already had to cut the day's programme short due to the change in weather and lack of time. However, the students would like to emphasise that they particularly enjoyed the exchange with Jo Müller and that it was a very nice day in Hamburg despite the shortened programme!

We would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Jo Müller, who organised the day trip and made time for us!

The annual alumni reunion for graduates of the Sustainability Economics and Management degree programme took place on 16 and 17 April 2021, organised by the Alumni Steering Committee. A total of around 70 alumni took part. Despite the meeting being moved online, the evening was characterised by warm reunions and exciting encounters. The supporting programme provided suitable entertainment: a degree programme quiz and several surveys opened the meeting. The evening also began with news from the teaching programme. Friday evening ended after informal discussions and games between scattered alumni, which lasted well into the night. Saturday continued with news from the SEM degree programme. This was followed by practical presentations by alumni who talked about their current jobs and careers. Finally, there was a last coffee together before everyone said goodbye until next time.

The amendment to the SEM examination regulations was published in the Official Notices of the University of Oldenburg on 6 August 2021 and is valid from the new academic year 2021/2022. The changes relate to the programme structure, the course content and the specialisations offered. All corresponding information pages on www.uol.de/sem have been adapted accordingly.

If you have any questions about the changes, please contact the Student Advisory Service.

Dear students,

As part of our survey on the "Sustainability Practice Forum", many of you requested a speaker from the fashion industry.
We are therefore delighted to invite you to the next edition of the practical forum with Katharina Liefner!

Ms Liefner works in the Corporate Responsibility department at ARMEDANGELSa fashion label founded in Cologne in 2007 that specialises in the design, production and distribution of responsible fashion.
The company specialises in timeless design, sustainable & regenerative materials and fair production instead of fast fashion, cheap mass-produced goods and wage slavery.
Before joining ARMEDANGELS, Ms Liefner studied Business Administration at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences in Jena and Sustainability Management at the University of Wuppertal.
A great opportunity to ask all your questions about fair fashion and corporate responsibility in a relaxed atmosphere!

The event will take place next Thursday (24 June) at 18:00.
As usual, we will meet again online via BigBlueButton-Meeting.
So please register for the Stud.IP event to take part in the practice forum, or use this link to go directly to the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you and to many exciting questions for our guest!

Based on economist Kate Raworth's theory "Doughnut Economics - Seven ways to think like a 21st-Century Economist", two students on the "Sustainability Economics and Management" degree programme are researching the status quo of social and environmental sustainability in the city of Bremen. Lenz Schulte Westenberg and Mareike Willems want to map where in the city the planetary boundaries are exceeded and social standards are undercut. Within these social and ecological guidelines, an intermediate space is created in which the economy can and should flourish (the so-called doughnut). The resulting city portrait lays the foundation for possible stakeholder workshops to develop a vision for a sustainable city of Bremen that combines social and ecological aspects.

The presentation of the results is expected to take place in November 2021.
The project is funded by the University of Oldenburg as part of the "Forschendes Lernen" programme. Further information on the funding programme can be found here.

Parallel to the research project, a Bremen city initiative is being set up to further develop the doughnut principle according to Raworth. Interested parties can find out more about events and opportunities for participation here.

Further information can be found under the section " Apply".
If you have any questions, please contact the Student Advisory Service at any time.

The examination regulations are also currently being revised. The revision mainly affects the study structure and the selection of specialisations. We will provide detailed information on this in due course.

The next edition of the "Praxisforum Nachhaltigkeit" will take place on Thursday, 20 May 2021, at 18:00.
The guest speaker will be Mr Malte Zieher, project manager and board member of Bündnis Bürgerenergie e.V.

Further information on the practical forum can be found here.

After a forced break of one year, the time has finally come again:
