For us, sustainable development means the balanced, long-term, integrative and?holistic consideration of ecological, social and economic concerns?with special reference to space and technology. Sustainable development is understood as a continuous, voluntary, transparent and credible process. Measures do not necessarily link all sub-areas at all times, but can also focus on individual sub-elements which give in sum a view on the holistic development. In this sense, we as a university, focus on the main areas?Governance, University Operations, Teaching, Research?as well as?Initiatives, Engagement and Transfer.
In our?sustainability report, which is based on the?PRME principles,?you can read about all of ISM's activities and commitments in the area of sustainability:
