Dear Students of the Bachelor of Natural Sciences for Sustainability, We are very happy to welcome you at the University of Bremen!

The Welcome and Kick-off event for our new bachelor students in Natural Sciences for Sustainability will start on Monday, Oct. 14th, 8:15 am at building NW1, lecture hall H2. Four speakers will provide keynotes on the scope of this new course from four perspectives. Science needs discussion and changes need participation. We therefore have prepared two world café sessions for an exchange of ideas, questions, and opinions on these topics between students, speakers and lectures.

Program:

Lecture hall H2 (8:15-9:45) Keynote “Climate change: The general picture” by Michael Schulz (UB) Keynote "Sustainability: biological perspectives at different scales" by Uwe Nehls (UB)

Study hall (next to H2, 9:45-10:15) World Café on the topics of keynotes 1 and 2

Seminar room S1290 (10:15-11:15) Keynote “Future energy supply” by Johanna Myrzik/Sergio Contreras (UB) Keynote “Paths in Sustainability” by Christine Falta (BBK: Federal Office for Civil Protection and Desaster Assistance)
