SustainMV – the summer school on sustainability – will take place this year for the sixth time! In the last five years we have welcomed over 1000 participants in our online format and nearly 120 on-site in the past four years. Over 60 different speakers presented their scientific perspective on sustainability.
SustainMV, this one of a kind event, is jointly organised by the Higher Education Institutions of our region, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The overarching theme is Sustainability in the fields of Tourism, Renewable Energies, Digital & Technological Innovations, Recycling & Waste Management, Ecosystems and Social Sustainability, showcasing opportunities for transformation through science and education for a sustainable future. Our goal is to present north-east Germany as the fantastic location for sustainability education, research and business that it is.
SustainMV on-site will take place August 24th until September 4th. It is preceded by a three-day online programme from August 18th until August 20th.
Thanks to government funding, we are again able to offer SustainMV 2026 tuition free. Nevertheless, for our on-site participants there will be a registration fee of 150 € charged after successful application. Accommodation is included. Attending the online + on-site programme is accredited with 4 ECTS according to the European Credit Transfer System.
The programme is aimed at international (advanced) Bachelor’s as well as Master’s students in any sustainability related subject area. The application will open March 2nd. For detailed information please see the attached fact sheet or visit our website https://sustainmv.de/.
