SustainMV 2023
The Sustainability Summer School
We are working hard on the programme for SustainMV 2023.
It will be updated here regularly.
Programme (28 August – 8 September)
| 15:00 - 18:00 | 🌍 | Public Round Table 📍 Stralsund Town Hall |
| 8:30 - 12:00 | 🌍 | Workshop “Krafla – Energy Transition Simulation Game: Negotiating with the World” In the Energy Transition Game, energy companies from six countries play against each other in a fictional world and have to keep an eye on global greenhouse gas emissions. The task is to generate profits by buying and operating power plants. The winner is whoever has achieved the best economic performance. Together, however, a certain limit of greenhouse gas emissions must not be exceeded. You have to discuss, negotiate and take decisions in a climate council - just like in the real world. 📍 Stralsund |  Prof. Dr. Johannes Gulden University of Applied Sciences Stralsund  Romy Sommer University of Applied Sciences Stralsund |
Greifswald Day
| 10:00 - 12:00 | 🌍 | Workshop "Climate Emotions - Adaptive or Maladaptive Mechanisms in Climate Relevant Behavior?" |  Susanne Nicolai University of Greifswald |
| 12:00 | Lunch | ||
| 14:00 - 17:00 | 🌍 | Workshop "Greifswald's Sustainability Handprint Tour" This guided tour combines two learning formats: In the first part students will visit key locations of good-practice examples in sustainable development, respectively dealing with energy production, mobility, land use, education and policy making. In the second part students will form small working groups and develop their own ideas for making Greifswald more sustainable. |  Dr. Tiemo Timmermann University of Greifswald |
| 19:00 | 🌍 | Lecture & Reception "Sustainable Energy Systems - the IPCC view" 📍 Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald |  Prof. Dr. Andreas Löschel Ruhr University Bochum |
| 10:00 - 12:00 | 🌍 | Seminar “Turning the Power of the Sun into Hydrogen Molecules” Being a source of unlimited power, the sun is ideal for producing electricity. However, the energy system of tomorrow does not only require electrons but also molecules, most importantly hydrogen. Production of green H2 is usually accomplished by an electrolyzer that is coupled to a power source such as a photovoltaic (PV) module which is basically an indirect method. The question thus arises: Is it possible to turn solar energy directly into hydrogen molecules, i.e. by using only a single component instead of two? The talk will start with some foundations of photovoltaics, before introducing combined PV/electrolyzer systems. Finally, the lecture will take the audience to so-called photoelectrochemical cells, which directly turn photons into H2 molecules without the need of a separate electrolyzer.

Neubrandenburg Day
Day at Leisure 🌱
Day Trip to Hiddensee Island 🚢
Rostock Day
| 00:00 - 00:00 | 🌍 | "Human-Centered AI & Sustainability: An Interactive Workshop" The topic of artificial intelligence is rapidly gaining attention and already has an influence on many areas of daily life. Students will be given the opportunity to experiment with an AI-application as part of a workshop at the University of Applied Sciences Stralsund, in order to playfully gain own experiences with AI, and to connect these to current sustainability concerns. The workshop is aimed specifically at interested students without prior knowledge and does not require any programming skills.
|  Sarah Gnoth University of Applied Sciences Stralsund  Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jasminko Novak University of Applied Sciences Stralsund |
Wismar Day
| 17:00 - 18:30 | 🌍 | Workshop "How Environmental Psychologys Describes and Predicts Sustainable Behaviour Changes" |  M. Sc. Paul Schulz University of Greifswald |
