Sustainable Development

The St. Pölten UAS supports the Sustainable Development Goals, which were adopted by the United Nations in September 2015.

We Take Concrete Measures for More Sustainability

We have already achieved a lot at our university of applied sciences:

• The building of the Campus St. Pölten received a sustainability award. 
• We have installed a photovoltaic system on the campus roof.
• We have increased our energy efficiency through concrete energy-saving measures.
• We are a member of the Bündnis Nachhaltige Hochschulen (alliance of sustainable universities).

Long-Term Sustainability Strategy

We take the topic of sustainability very seriously and systematically promote responsible action. By developing a sustainability strategy as well as concrete goals and measures, we advance sustainable development on all levels – both on our premises and in our teaching and research activities.

All staff members have the opportunity to participate in our working groups on sustainability with the following focus areas:

• Research – lead and point of contact: Pamela Nolz
• Teaching – lead and point of contact: Christina Anderer
• Organisation/site – lead and point of contact: Claudia Dirlinger

Our sustainability efforts and the development of our institutional sustainability strategy are coordinated by Viktoria Leitner. In addition, we receive support from sustainability advisor Vera Pichler.
