![[Translate to English:] Motiv Social Impact Festival](/fileadmin/_processed_/c/2/csm_SIF_Header_03_02500f5557.jpg)
Technology-oriented research and social issues are not contradictory.
How can we make both visible and develop them further together at a technical university? Together with students, initiatives, lecturers and practice partners, we want to collect, discuss and implement ideas. Food sharing projects and teams that want to take care of the greening of the campus are just as welcome as lecturers who are interested in bringing the topic of social impact into teaching. City initiatives, associations or small and medium-sized companies that have already embarked on the path of social and ecological sustainability or are planning to do so in the future are also very welcome.

Thinking social impact together
We want your opinion! What do you think about sustainability and commitment? Technology and social issues are not contradictory: How can we make social and ecological commitment at a technical university visible and develop it further? And what does it take? What kind of support would you like? These questions will be addressed in three participatory theme tents. We will brainstorm and develop ideas. Your commitment will be rewarded with a cool free drink and a party in the inner courtyard of the old building!
