The team of the OVGU's sustainability office was responsible for coordinating the events and public relations. More information on the events can be found here.

1st Progressive Introductory Weeks (2016)

After the successful 3rd University Days, the team came up with the idea of creating an alternative and critical programme for the introductory week. The focus should be shifted from alcohol to various aspects of sustainability and engagement in studies. Through cooperation with various partners (StuRa, FasRa FHW, BUNDjugend, OLLi and GHG), a diverse programme was created that included city tours, a cooking class, as well as various workshops and lectures.
