Every step counts
The European university alliance EU GREEN is calling on all members of the member universities to collect steps in the period from April 8 to 28, 2024 and thus make a contribution to achieving the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations. OVGU's goal: to "visit" all EU-GREEN locations once, i.e. to virtually walk 7,823 km. That's 11,175,714 steps. Join in the count!

Seeing through the lens of a camera

The university is reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Everyday Things" together as part of the nationwide project "One University - One Book". The book motivates us to take a closer look at the so-called little things. This is also the aim of the accompanying photo competition "Your kitchen - my kitchen", to which all OVGU members are invited.
