Sustainability

Sustainable development represents a global challenge. As hotspots for knowledge generation and transfer, universities are expected to make a contribution. The University of Bern takes this responsibility seriously and is committed to integrating sustainability as a cross-cutting issue across all areas of the university (teaching, research, continuing education, public relations and business operations) and promoting the respectful use of ecological, economic and social resources.

The University of Bern has cemented its sustainability policy on a strategic level. The University of Bern has an Office and a Commission for Sustainable Development.
