This summer semester: BTU4future - cultural sustainability in a participatory wayFÜS module open to all students
In the 2025 summer semester, BTU4Future will focus on the topic of cultural sustainability and the critical reflection of different cultures of remembrance: a place will be created around the FrauenOrt for Bililee Ajiamé Machbuba at BTU to reflect on different perspectives on (colonial) history and, in particular, to highlight marginalised perspectives and decolonise cultures of remembrance. This year we are cooperating with FrauenOrte Brandenburg. The module will be led by guest lecturer and artist Patricia Vester.
Research and learning at the interface of environment, society and technology
The department researches and teaches on the multiple interactions of technological and social development and their impact on the environment, as well as the influence of a changing environment on society.
Our projects are inter- and transdisciplinary: We integrate scientific knowledge from different disciplines as well as experiential knowledge from the lifeworlds and practical fields of various social actors.
In doing so, we generate three forms of knowledge:
- System knowledge - on the genesis and character of complex socio-ecological problems.
- Target knowledge - on the socially desirable as well as intrageneratinally and intergenerationally equitable development goals
- Transformation knowledge - on the approaches to solutions and transformation paths towards sustainability.
We are open to requests for project work, bachelor's and master's theses as well as PhD topics from students and young researchers!
