The idea came about as part of the !mpact regulars' table. The key idea being that we want to celebrate sustainability and our responsibility for life on the planet.
As a university specializing in computer science, we have a particular responsibility to future generations. Increased digitization requires resources. On Impact Day, we hope to show our current competencies and ideas for the future
The date of our !mpact Day coincides with Earth Day, i.e. April 22nd. The 22nd is a Saturday and thus, we moved it to the Friday before to make sure that students, faculty, guests, and the public would be more inclined to attend.
We plan to reduce our CO2 emissions on this particular day by exclusively using public transport, bicycles, inline skates, longboards or our very own feet to walk to the campus. NB: short input lectures await us during the coffee break in the library area and during lunchtime in the forum. The Repair Café is a highlight, where you’ll get support from professionals for the repair of all your electronic devices.
We look forward to seeing you there!
