Environmental department

We are the Environmental Department of the Student Representation of the TU Munich (‘URef’ for short). We deal with sustainability issues at the university in a variety of ways and organise sustainable events and projects of all kinds.

Projects

As student representatives for the environment at TUM, we are involved in various projects.

Do you have a good idea how we can make the university more sustainable together? Join us!

Events

In 1985, we launched the public, interdisciplinary Environmental Lecture Series.

Today, we organise numerous events around sustainability at the university, such as: the clothing swap party, Parking Day, the Sustainable Walking Tour, and our vegan food stand at the GARNIX Open Air.

Student
Representation

As part of the Student Representation of the TUM, we advocate for the interests of all students in the area of sustainability.

In university policy committees, we advocate for sustainability aspects to be taken into account in as many important decisions as possible.

Join us at one of our next events!

We’re always hosting events, from clothes swap parties to kick-off events with delicious vegan food, to walks through Munich showing how to live more sustainably, and much more!
