What is a Green Office?
The Green Office at the University of Regensburg is the central point of contact for sustainability at UR. It supports students and staff in promoting sustainability holistically across social, economic, and environmental areas. In addition, it networks and coordinates sustainability initiatives, with a particular focus on fostering student engagement.
How did the Green Office come about?
The establishment of the Green Office at UR originated from an initiative by the Student Representative Council, under whose leadership a “Green Office Task Force,” founded in 2019, developed the concept for its implementation and presented it to the university leadership.
In May 2021, the Sustainability Office was staffed, and since May 2023 it has been part of the Presidential Department. With the formalization and organizational relocation of the Green Office, another step was taken toward embedding sustainability institutionally at the UR.
Vision
Within the team, we understand the Green Office as the central point of contact for all sustainability-related activities.
Through engaging events, such as the Campus Day during Regensburg’s Sustainability Week, we aim to invite you to connect with other individuals and groups and to actively engage with the topics of the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
The campus of the future should be a place that unites sustainability, innovation, and community. Our goal is to create a green and livable environment designed to be both ecologically and socially responsible.
