LMUgreen. Shaping sustainability together.
Sustainability is one of the key challenges of our time – and LMU is rising to meet it. We’re shaping transformation through innovation in research, teaching, and how we run our university.
At LMU, we understand sustainability as an integrative, normative, and transformative concept that calls for new forms of scientific and academic collaboration. I want to help ensure that LMU, as a place of critical reflection, knowledge creation and transfer, lives up to its self-image as an institution with social responsibility.Prof. Dr. Ralf Ludwig, Chief Sustainability Officer
