Wie ihr vielleicht wisst, steht die Hochschulwahl bald an! Und zwar am 06.07.2021! Das ist eure Chance eure studentischen Vertreter in die wichtigen Gremien wie dem Senat, dem Fakultätsrat und die Fachschaftsvertretung zu wählen und eure Interessen zu vertreten!

In dieser Episode von Campus after Hours unterhalten sich August und Alvaro mit dem Referenten für Hochschulpolitik am AStA und fragen mal nach, warum die Hochschulwahlen überhaupt so wichtig sind.

Am Wahltag selbst könnt ihr natürlich in die Uni kommen und eure Stimmen abgeben. Falls ihr das nicht schafft (oder keine Lust habt), könnt ihr bis zum 22.06 eure Briefwahlunterlagen auch auf TUMonline beantragen und ganz gemütlich von zu hause aus abstimmen. Wie genau das funktioniert seht ihr hier.

Falls ihr noch mehr über die Hochschulwahlen 2021 wissen wollt, schaut einfach auf der offiziellen Website mal vorbei.

Climate change and sustainability have become huge topics over the past decade, especially in the political and corporate environment. Our guests, Jil and Clemens, don´t think that´s enough, so they joined a student initiative focussing on sustainability awareness at University, the so-called "Umweltreferat".

Listen to our hosts talk to them and discuss their awareness vision and their view on climate change and political and corporate action. They also discuss their student initiative, which creates a platform for students to turn their personal sustainability projects into a reality. This platform is combined with a lecture series about environmental awareness and multiple other projects to make the Umweltreferat have its own massive share in giving TUMs future engineers the hard facts about climate change.

How do German Angst towards Technology and wrong policies hold back Germany on its road to carbon neutrality until 2045? How realistic is nuclear fusion and what would realising it mean? What research is going on at TUM specifically in this area of how to slow down the climate crisis?

These and many more questions August and Alvaro discuss with Prof. Dr. Thomas Hamacher in this weeks episode of Campus after Hours. Professor Hamacher gives an insightful, fact-based look at renewable energies and the climate crisis in Germany and worldwide, taking into account philosophical, societal and economical standpoints.
