Co-Creating the University: How Students can shape Institutional Change (in Eng.)

Date: Wednesday, 11.03.2026
Time: 09:30-11:00h

Place: Ilse-Wallentin-Haus, SR 25

At our next BASE:Breakfast, we will explore how institutional change at universities can be shaped. The session brings together perspectives from student activism, student representation, and the university itself to discuss how change processes are initiated, experienced, and implemented. 

The focus is on fostering mutual understanding: What are the different goals, responsibilities, and challenges? Where do perspectives align, and where do tensions arise? And how can constructive dialogue lead to shared solutions? 

Guests:

Plant Based Universities is a Europewide student initiative advocating for 100% plantbased catering at universities. By providing plantbased meals, we can make an important contribution to climate justice, drive the transition toward a fair and sustainable food system, and at the same time increase acceptance within society. Universities already play a major role in addressing the climate crisis through their research and serve as fertile ground for societal change. The next step is the institutional adoption of plantbased catering at all universities.
