Information about the professorship
The Chair in āSustainable Transformation Processes in Business and Societyā sees itself as an interdisciplinary bridge between engineering, natural sciences, business, society and professional practice. Its focus is on transformation processes arising from the challenges of climate change and advancing digitalisation.
A key focus is on the interplay between digital and sustainable transformation, particularly on issues relating to artificial intelligence and sustainability, as well as the āTwin Transitionā. In addition, the Chair addresses environmental and climate adaptation strategies. To this end, the BlĆ¼hwiesenLab was established at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences in the summer semester of 2026 and integrated into the teaching of the Energy and Environmental Management degree programme. Among other things, research is conducted into the ecosystem services provided by urban green spaces and their contribution to climate-resilient structures.
In research and teaching, scientific and technical approaches are combined with technology assessment, education for sustainable development, and inter- and transdisciplinary teaching formats. System thinking is used to highlight the interplay between ecological, technical and societal factors in the context of climate change. The aim is to examine technical and societal transformation processes not in isolation, but in terms of their interrelationships and practical possibilities for shaping the future.
