Transfer

The University of Münster regards transfer activities as a vehicle for assuming civic responsibility in all areas of society. To adequately meet this responsibility, the University of Münster seeks intensive exchange with various stakeholders in society to promote sustainability in the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The demands of sustainability transfer require the joint effort of all University members in all status groups and cooperation with a broad range of social, political and economic partners who are active from the municipal to the global level. Sustainability is thus an explicit part of the University’s “Transfer Strategy” in the concrete fields of action science communication, lifelong learning, citizen science, entrepreneurship, technology transfer and culture.
