1st Green Office workshop in Witzenhausen

The 1st ideas workshop took place in Witzenhausen on 05.02.25. Employees and students were invited to get to know the work and participation opportunities of the Green Office. There was also plenty of room for brainstorming and discussions about ways to make the Witzenhausen campus more environmentally friendly and sustainable. We collected a wide range of ideas in the areas of mobility, sustainable event organization & procurement and open spaces & field trials.

The ideas are now being fleshed out in the newly founded Sustain Group "Witzenhausen". We will meet online on 06.03.25. Newcomers are very welcome! More info here.

To implement the ideas, we are continuing to work with the digital "Project Factory", where sustainable ideas for the university can be exchanged and promoted. So if you have a great idea but don't have the money to implement it, apply now for up to €1000 funding for your idea. More information here.

2nd Green Office workshop in Kassel

On 10.10.2024, all students and employees of the University of Kassel were invited to the 2nd Green Office Workshop in the Campus Center.


The workshop offered the opportunity to discover a variety of ways to get involved in sustainability at the University of Kassel. Five different workrooms were on offer:


  • There was a mini ideas workshopin the Project Factory workroom and great ideas for a more sustainable University of Kassel were developed in a creative way. There was also an insight into our brand new digital ideas platform Projektfabrik. Do you have an idea of what could become even more sustainable at the University of Kassel? Show us your ideas in the Project Factory and develop them into a sustainability project! More information about the Sustain Group "Projektfabrik" can be found here.
  • Speed Challenge "Green Nudging": In our new challenge, we want to develop playful incentives for more sustainability & health on campus, e.g. a course with small movement and thinking tasks. We already got creative at the Green Office workshop and built a first prototype. More information on the "Green Nudging" challenge can be found here.
  • Sustain Groups: At the Green Office Workshop, you were able to get to know committed students and employees from our Sustain Groups "Sustainable Event Organization" and "Sustainability Communication" as well as current projects. And the new Sustain Group "Mobility on Campus" was founded. Together we are promoting sustainability at the university! Would you like to get involved in a Sustain Group? We would be delighted! You can find more information here.
  • Project seminar I Go:Green: Our workshop provided an exciting insight into the "Material Exchange" seminar. Would you like to deal with sustainability topics in an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented way and earn credits at the same time?

  • Kurz und Knackig -Zukunftsperspektiven im Bauwesen was about future developments in the construction industry with a focus on summer and heat in buildings.
