MCI first Tyrolean university in the Climate Alliance

In order to promote sustainability in teaching, research and operations and to further develop future climate protection measures in a targeted manner, MCI | Die Unternehmerische Hochschule® is accepted as a partner in the Climate Alliance Tyrol. After a multi-stage climate check, which analysed, among other things, the status quo of the company and the previous climate protection measures, the MCI team, led by Alexander Dumfort, Tommy Mayr and Regina Obexer, drew up a comprehensive climate protection roadmap for the next five years together with the Climate Alliance Tyrol in order to contribute to a more sustainable world.

To this end, a detailed catalogue of measures has been developed, including the expansion of green mobility for staff and students, the creation of awareness through targeted communication in teaching, adjustments to the infrastructure and an increase in the number of green events at the MCI. In doing so, the goals will be continuously developed: "We want to involve everyone in the MCI team in the process, as all of us bring site-related input. With regular cross-university workshops, we can not only expand existing measures, but also incorporate new ideas," explains Alexander Dumfort, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Environmental, Process and Energy Engineering at the MCI.

By joining the Climate Alliance, MCI | The Entrepreneurial School® has joined a strong network: In addition to the more than 1,000 Climate Alliance communities, around 1,300 companies across Austria have also committed themselves to the Climate Alliance idea, with MCI being the first university in Tyrol to join the Climate Alliance. MCI Rector Andreas Altmann is delighted: "Environmental and climate protection are central concerns for us, which we take seriously and in which we invest specifically as a university. Joining the Climate Alliance spurs us on further to ambitiously implement concrete measures and contribute to the sustainable development of our spheres of activity."
