International Week on Sustainable Development
The International Week will take place from June 7 to 12, 2015. Public panel discussion on Sustainable Development on June 8 (7.30 pm).
International professors and NGU students meet in the central court!
Just a close lookahead:
It is meant as a come-together for the guest lecturers, students and professors from the NGU. Especially the students will have the chance to come in contact with the guest lecturers and can ask questions about their field of expertise, university etc. And there will be a goal wall with some prizes to win.
Further description will be uploaded soon!

International lecturers give 4 classes (90 min each = total of 8 teaching hours) within the courses of Nürtingen-Geislingen University (NGU) peers of the same area of expertise. The focus of these lectures will be on sustainable development in the given area.
Around the teaching activities and in the evenings a framework program (e. g. guided city walks with focus on e-mobility and green infrastructure, visit of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Swabian Alb) will be offered for the lecturers.
Two public events open to the public will give the opportunity for scientific exchange among the invited lecturers as well as staff and students from NGU and the interested public.
