The FH Salzburg is the 15th university to join Alliance for Sustainable Universities (BNH) at. The alliance supports and connects universities in their commitment to sustainable development in all areas.
Sustainability is an important topic for the FH Salzburg. As complex as the term is, the areas in which ecological, social and economic sustainability play a role are also diverse – be it in teaching, research, infrastructure, social or student engagement or in university operations. Joining the Alliance for Sustainable Universities (BNH) is a further step towards integrating sustainability even more closely into all areas of university life.
FH Rector and Managing Director Dominik Engel: “As a university, we have a special social mission. We stand for developing sustainable solutions and providing inspiration. By participating in the Alliance for Sustainable Universities, we will work together to drive transformative changes that will not only make our campuses more sustainable, but also make a significant contribution to global sustainable development.”
Elisabeth Steiner, chairwoman of the Alliance for Sustainable Universities confirms: “With the accession of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences as the 15th member of the Alliance for Sustainable Universities, we are expanding our network to include a very important partner in the Austrian higher education sector. The discussion on sustainability issues is not new to her, and we build on a high level of expertise in implementing the BNH’s common objectives such as cooperation, exchange, creation and use of synergies, joint positioning and reflected discussion of the dimensions of sustainability. We are very pleased that we were able to win the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences as a member.”
Membership in the Sustainable Universities Alliance makes it possible to benefit from a broad network of knowledge and best practices. Daniela Molzbichler, Sustainability officer at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, is pleased about the collaboration in the alliance and the diverse opportunities: “I very much welcome joining the Alliance for Sustainable Universities (BNH). This membership represents a significant step as we can now bring our expertise in the area of sustainability to a wider network. Joining us will enable us to engage in valuable collaborations and intensive exchanges with other universities, allowing us to utilize synergies and further develop solutions. In particular, the joint positioning and the reflected examination of the various dimensions of sustainability will be significantly strengthened by this collaboration.”
