Welcome Statement

Welcome to the SDG Day 2026!

As leading university of applied sciences for management and communication, it is our mission to prepare students for a responsible career in management and communication. In order to make companies successful in the long term, it is necessary to deal with the principles of sustainability and drive social change.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations are cornerstones for the education of future leaders and managers.

On January 22, 2026, we are organizing our fifth SDG Day. Under the motto “Be smart. Act responsibly.” we invite students, lecturers, employees and representatives from companies and academia to view the exciting project and poster presentations by our students, find out about the latest tourism trends and engage with the topic of sustainability in a variety of simulation games and workshops.
