LMUgreen. Shaping sustainability together.

Sustainability is one of the key challenges of our time – and LMU is rising to meet it. We’re shaping transformation through innovation in research, teaching, and how we run our university.

Universities bear a special responsibility for shaping a future worth living. LMU is actively supporting ecological, economic and social sustainability - through excellent research, teaching and targeted knowledge transfer. We are particularly pleased about the commitment of our students, researchers, teaching staff and employees.

Prof. Dr. Francesca Biagini, Vice President for International Affairs and Diversity
