Sustainability

The Faculty of Medicine views sustainability as part of its responsibility toward society and future generations.

Human health is closely linked to the ecological foundations of life. As a training institution for future physicians and an internationally networked research organization, the Faculty helps to make these connections visible and integrate them into research, teaching, and continuing education.

At the same time, international research collaborations, scientific conferences, clinical networks, and the promotion of early-career researchers are central prerequisites for fulfilling the Faculty’s mandate. The Faculty views sustainability as a commitment to carrying out its core tasks in the most resource-efficient and responsible manner possible.

With the involvement of internal and external stakeholders, the Faculty of Medicine has developed its Roadmap Climate 2030:

The goals and measures outlined in the faculty roadmaps are incorporated into the development of the university-wide Roadmap Climate 2030 and help to embed climate protection, resource conservation, and the improvement of environmental performance across the various areas of the University of Bern.
