How can we not only demand social sustainability in Braunschweig, but also work together to shape it effectively? As part of the Social Sustainability Ecosystem (ESS), the Institute for Information Systems WI2/WI*SIS at TU Braunschweig, in cooperation with the Lower Saxony Climate Research Center (ZKfN) and other partners, is bringing together business, science, administration, politics, and civil society in a joint working context

On February 19, the second Werkstatt der Mutigen will take place at DenkRaum Braunschweig. The aim is to highlight existing approaches, enable new collaborations, and structurally anchor participation. The workshop is aimed at people who want to network, provide impetus, or help shape concrete projects. Feel free to join us!
