Goethe Sustainability Fund

The fund strengthens bottom-up engagement and supports initiatives from all members of Goethe University – ensuring that sustainable ideas don’t disappear into a drawer but instead become reality. A jury of independent sustainability experts reviews your proposals based on clear criteria to make sure the funding has the greatest possible impact.

• Submit your ideas online using the form by January 31
• The Sustainability Office reviews the applications and provides feedback or requests additional information if needed
• The jury evaluates the proposals
• The university’s executive board takes a final look at the evaluations
• The best ideas receive funding for implementation  

• People ready to take action and implement their ideas
• Smart solutions to sustainability challenges
• Initiatives that achieve a lot with a small budget (< €10,000)

That’s up to you! Projects can include anything that aligns with the goals of our strategy to make the university more sustainable: for example, expanding repair workshops, organizing a student sustainability conference, reusable materials for labs, a sustainability handbook for student initiatives, a biodiversity island, a socially critical film project about the campus – and much more.
