Structure and integration into the university

The University of Passau establishes a sustainable campus in the sense of people's responsibility for the protection of the environment and for a togetherness characterized by humanity. People at our sustainable campus live, research, teach and learn together in respect for nature and in awareness of the importance of sustainability of human thinking, acting and doing business. The organizational center of the sustainable campus is the Sustainability Hub, which supports the sustainable operation of the campus, promotes student activities, and advances interfaculty research at the university.
