To the award winners 2023

  • Interdisciplinarity

    A lot of scientific questions and problems can only be handled in cooperation between different disciplines. Various constellations are imaginable in the cooperation of disciplines – depending on how close or far away they are from each other. The spectrum ranges from “small” to “large” interdisciplinarity, see the working definition of interdisciplinarity.

  • Sustainability

    Sustainability projects are based on sustainability problems in their choice of topics, conception and expected impact and contribute to their solution in the sense of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. on sustainable mobility, sustainable consumption or sustainable land use, research settings, etc.). In this context, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches, which are set against the background of social responsibility, are central.
