Kassel Institute for Sustainability

Interview with Kathrin Theissinger

As a conservation scientist, what particularly stands out to me about the sustainability research at the Kassel Institute for Sustainability is its interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach. The focus is not merely on the study of ecological systems, but on a comprehensive analysis of human–environment relationships. In this context, natural science perspectives are deliberately integrated with social science and systems analysis approaches.

Service for media: What is the Kassel Institute for Sustainability?

The Kassel Institute for Sustainability brings together cutting-edge expertise in sustainability at the University of Kassel. Three core characteristics shape the institute's work: Research at the Kassel Institute combines normative-critical research on the concept of sustainability with solution-oriented research in specific areas of application. The Kassel Institute conducts holistic research into socio-ecological aspects of transformation. In doing so, the Kassel Institute realizes the unity of research and teaching and develops new sustainability degree programs at the University of Kassel.
