The Summit takes responsibility

WSEN Tübingen is considering sustainability as a multidimensional term of justice, whose requirements must be met by the summit. Therefore, responsible acting is the core of compliance efforts for accomplishment of the WSES.

To ensure a low-emission journey of the participants, short-haul flights will be relinquished entirely in favour of rail traffic. However, long-haul flights for students from other continents are inevitable. The emissions resulting from these will be compensated by offset-projects.

All necessary print products will be printed on 100% recycled paper. Also, the catering for the participants will be chosen from the sustainable point of view. The meals are to consist from regional and organic food mainly, meaning that they stand out due to transportation routes and organic cultivation methods.

Emphasis is laid on a balanced gender ratio in participating students as well as in guest speakers. Beyond that, WSEN Tübingen does not want social differences to influence possibilities to participate in the WSES. For this reason, a fund for financing travel expenses will be created, which will enable participation independently of the financial means of students or their universities.
