Overarching Goals

Establishing and expanding health-promoting academic and living conditions for students 

  • Participatory Development of Health-Promoting Activities and Measures

  • Providing impetus for the sustainable integration of health promotion into the “university” learning and living environment

  • Establishing structures that promote participation

  • Shaping the university’s framework conditions in collaboration with students and staff to maintain and promote their health and well-being

  • Advancing the conceptual and institutional integration of the cross-cutting theme of “health” into the university’s organizational structure and ensuring its long-term establishment, if necessary through a university-wide health management system

Operating Principles

In order to work toward achieving these goals, the following working principles should be followed:

  • Internal university networking
  • Facilitating participation and striving for empowerment
  • Active involvement of students
