Why this program?

Reconciling ecological, social and economic sustainability in management and technology development is one of today’s major challenges. This program enables participants to support their organizations in the transformation towards a more sustainable future and to identify and actively shape new, innovative technology trends at an early stage.

The TUM Campus in Straubing with its focus on biotechnology and sustainability contributes to the uniqueness of the part-time course. An important balance of academic input and practice-oriented elements promotes exchange and networking among participants. By bringing in a challenge from their own professional environment, both the participants and their organizations benefit from the program.

This program grew out of the SustainabilityDialogue@TUM. Society’s interest in sustainability-oriented business is greater than ever. Changing consumer behavior, employee expectations and also political regulations mean that companies must rethink sustainability.

With the SustainabilityDialogue@TUM, a platform has been created for the regular exchange of knowledge and experience for company representatives across company boundaries and functional areas. The network is aiming to give new impulses to the economy as well as to inspire the research and teaching activities at TUM.
