How can universities and research institutes make their buildings and workspaces more climate-friendly without compromising academic excellence? As remote work, flexibility, and coworking reshape how we work, it’s time to rethink how we plan and use space in research and teaching.
This event will explore how the academic world can adapt its infrastructure to meet climate goals, financial realities, and evolving work models. Together, we’ll envision what the universities of tomorrow could look like, from shared offices to repurposed lecture halls, and discuss how spatial planning can support a more sustainable future for science.
Our international panel includes:
Alexandra den Heijer - Professor of Real Estate at Technological University Delft, The Netherlands.
Thomas Kopp - Professor of Global Nutrition and Trade at Justus-Liebig-University of Gießen, Germany.
Riet van de Velde - Sustainability Coordinator at Ghent University, Belgium.

Climate protection is not only a subject of academic research but should also be an integral part of everyday academic life.
We, the Forum for Sustainable Academia (FNW) aim to support this by pooling expertise, addressing implementation challenges, and providing a platform for exchange.
