The course “satisfying sustainability - sustainable satisfaction” covers an interdisciplinary investigation of sustainability from three specific points of view: society (demands of an individual and a group), technology (demand, capability and coverage), and economy (up/down/recycling, circular economy).
The discussion will be complemented with temporal urgency by an investigation of time lines necessary for committing to solutions and their actual implementation. Challenges and solutions will be investigated the individual to society. The social scale will be complemented by the spatial perspective ranging from a local impact to global visions.
