Open your Horizon: Different Perspectives on Sustainability

Why is the path to a green economy so difficult? What does sustainable financing look like? What are the impacts of climate change on the mountain environment? We will explore these and many more questions at this event. All alumni/ae of Rochester-Bern and UniBern are invited. In addition to the exciting presentations by renowned lecturers and pioneers from the field, the event thus also offers exciting networking opportunities by bringing together the talents of UniBern with successful leaders from Rochester-Bern.
