Sustainability: Making an impact at the School for Computer Science and Information Technology Conserving our resources with digital technology and preserving diversity on our planet   

At the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, we are committed to a sustainable future; we work at conserving resources and promoting the use of digital technologies. One of our two hybrid, wooden skyscrapers on the Suurstoffi campus in Zug-Rotkreuz shows our commitment to achieving one of our main goals; namely, becoming fully CO2 neutral by 2030.

Moreover, we live our commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations in the areas of undergraduate and postgraduate education, further education and research. We count amongst our partners, organisations from central Switzerland such as the Central Swiss Sustainability Network and VENALU. Together we aim to raise awareness for the fact that a digital future can also be sustainable.
