Sustainability

Universities see themselves as places of transformation where processes of change are initiated and driven forward. The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences sees itself as responsible for enabling young people, through research and applied science, to recognise and understand higher-level aspects of their study content and to act in awareness of their own responsibility. The discourse on the future direction of technical and social development is essential here.

The dimensions of sustainability anchored in the modules provide impulses to evaluate, use and sustainably design development processes and products with regard to ecological, social and economic developments. This should enable students to identify problems at different levels, as well as to reflect on the scope of their actions today and to make decisions that in turn form the basis for future generations. In particular, the sustainability approach should be taken into account in the development and elaboration of their own start-up or innovation project.

As the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, we also see the Start-up Development degree programme as a regional responsibility to promote start-ups and innovations from the region. After all, promoting start-ups means promoting the future.
