The aim is to gain insights into specific aspects of sustainability at different levels, from individual actions (e.g. consumption or financial investment), at firm level (e.g. external stakeholder requirements, adaptation to changing framework conditions), at government institutions (e.g. sustainability at the university), and at the macroeconomic and global level (e.g. hydrogen economy). The course should enable students to classify and critically evaluate the relevance of economic activities and institutional frameworks in relation to different aspects of sustainability.

 

Registration: Please pre-register via STUD.IP and write a short letter of motivation (maximum 500 words) for participation. Please send the letter to:  (subject: Application - Sustainability in Economic Sciences). Deadline for application is 06.10.2022.

 

Contents:

  • Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their measurability
  • Climate policy simulation game (in cooperation with ZEW, Mannheim)
  • Green hydrogen
  • Digitalization and sustainability
  • Sustainability in financial investments, marketing and sales, monetary policy
  • Career as a sustainability officer and sustainability consultant
