We meet every second Wednesday of the month at 3:00 p.m. Our theme for 2025/26: Optimizing resource consumption.

Mission: Contribute to society through commitment to sustainable development in the fields of teaching, research, transfer, and governance.

Focus of the month: Reflecting on water consumption

Water is present in many everyday products and habits—often invisibly. For example: Foods like avocados require large amounts of water to produce. Digital applications also consume water indirectly: data centers require electricity and cooling, often using water. In addition to purchasing decisions, personal behavior also plays a role, for example when showering or bathing. By occasionally choosing alternatives, consuming more consciously, or questioning usage habits, you can help reduce indirect water consumption. Small everyday decisions help reduce water consumption throughout production and supply chains.
