SustainMV 2022
The Sustainability Summer School
SustainMV started 2021 as an online format due to the pandemic. In 2022 the on-site programme was added. International students from all parts of the world came to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to discuss sustainability in different contexts and, along the way, to get to know the various higher education institutions and research facilities in the MV science region. The agenda included workshops and seminars, excursions and laboratory tours as well as a varied leisure programme.
