Apprenticeship Day 2026

Learning for tomorrow: University as a space for shaping a sustainable future

Teaching Day 2026 focuses on the question of how university teaching can enable students to actively participate in shaping a sustainable future. Against the backdrop of social transformation processes - climate change, digitalization, demographic change and the use of artificial intelligence - the university sees itself not only as a place for imparting knowledge, but also as a creative space for responsibility, reflection and the ability to act. The aim of the event is to make central perspectives of future-oriented university teaching visible, to stimulate discourse between science, practice and society and to provide impetus for the further development of teaching in line with HEP 2030+.
