University of Kassel as pilot university in DBU project on sustainability assessment of universities
In essence, the project, which started in April 2021 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Remmer Sassen at the Technical University (TU) Dresden, aims at standardization through the participatory definition of sustainability criteria in the form of an indicator catalog as well as the design of a web-based benchmark system and focuses on the higher education fields of action teaching, research, transfer, governance and operation. As of today, 18 universities have already pledged their participation as pilot universities. A further 18 universities are participating in the project as interested universities. For each field of action, at least five to ten indicators will be defined and scales for operationalization will be developed in each case. On this basis, scoring will be possible, for which a label with different levels can be awarded. This is likely to be a key success factor and provide some competition among universities. Standardization can make the continuous improvement process within universities measurable and controllable for university policy. By the end of the project, reports from at least ten universities will be published. An independent demand-oriented continuation for regular reporting is to be ensured even after the end of the project. Further information...
