The task force “Sustainable University” was established in 2015 in order to organise the processes of sustainable development at the University of Vechta in a structured manner and to involve interested persons. The task force can be seen as a driving force for sustainable development at the University of Vechta. It is deliberately organised as an open and cross-status working group with the aim of creating a participatory work culture in which both employees and students can contribute their ideas and suggestions.

In April and June 2015, workshops on the topic of “sustainable university” were held at the University of Vechta for the first time. On this basis, the task force “Sustainable University” as well as topic-specific working groups (e.g., “Sustainability and teaching”) were founded. In July 2015, Prof. Dr. Marco Rieckmann was appointed Sustainability Officer of the University of Vechta. Together with his colleague Larissa Jaeger, Mr. Rieckmann coordinates the work of the task force “Sustainable University” and the sustainability process of the university.
