KLIMA Network Thuringia presents results in Berlin

From March 18 until March 19, 2026, the results conference for the funding programme “Pathways to Transformation for Sustainable Universities” took place in Berlin, where the Thuringian KLIMA-N project also presented its research findings. On behalf of KLIMA-N, adjunct Professor Bettina Hollstein and Professor Björn Machalett from the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt presented the findings, including in the area of education for sustainable development, particularly regarding the role of service learning.

From March 19–20, the 7th BMFTR Symposium “Sustainability in Science” – Shaping Successful Transformation – Innovations for Sustainable Universities and Research Institutions”, organized by the Ministry (BMFTR) and the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK), followed at the same venue. The event focused, among other things, on discussing obstacles and conditions for success in the transformation process at universities in Germany. In addition to lectures and workshops, there were also poster presentations that attracted many interested participants for in-depth discussions. KLIMA-N also presented a poster on the project results, thereby highlighting Thuringia’s contribution to the field of sustainability transformation.

“The exchange with other networks, the mutual encouragement, and learning from examples of best practices in other parts of Germany are particularly valuable in addressing the challenges we face in a regional context. The conference and symposium were so helpful for the continued work on the KLIMA-N project,” said Bettina Hollstein, Sustainability Officer of the Presidium and subproject leader in the KLIMA-N project.
