7th December 2016
Prof. Schmuck will speak about the sustainability transformation in German villages (185 bioenergy villages have been initiated by his Göttingen university team) and about the sustainability transformation in German universities (for example about his sustainability centre at university Goettingen, about a German wide students’ network for sustainability, and about a master curriculum on sustainability management initiated by him).
These concrete activities are embedded in theoretical considerations regarding the role of science and universities in the sustainability transformation of our societies, including psychological aspects of sustainability and myths and misbeliefs of the industrial era and ways to overcome.
Peter Schmuck is professor of psychology and sustainable development at University of Goettingen and at the University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde. He is a scientist and practitioner who is engaged in several German communities for renewable energy solutions and further sustainability projects.
