Heidelberger Brücke
The "Heidelberger Brücke" colloquium is a public event series. It provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange within and outside Heidelberg University, as well as for communication with the interested public. HCE members, researchers, and guest speakers share their expertise and discuss current sustainability topics with the audience.
In the summer semester of 2025, the “Heidelberger Brücke” is dedicated to the topic "Pushed to the Sidelines? Climate Action in Contested Times”. Renowned experts from various fields will explore how nature-based solutions, CO2 control in companies, social movements, and collaboration between universities and cities can contribute to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The series kicks off on 17 April 2025 with Marina Treskova from Heidelberg University, who will speak about nature-based solutions. A special highlight is the special edition on 15 May 2025, in which the 4EU+ European University Alliance will discuss how universities and cities can jointly advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Register now to participate in person or online and explore pioneering ideas for a sustainable future.
Note: This semester also features a special Heidelberger Brücke – Latin America Edition on "Sustainable Coffee"! This event series is a joint initiative of the Heidelberg Center for the Environment (HCE), the Heidelberg Center for Latin America (HCLA), and the Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS). Its aim is to foster transdisciplinary exchange between Heidelberg and Latin America on key sustainability issues. The first session will focus on the role of food systems in the context of socio-ecological transformations – with an emphasis on sustainability, justice, and societal change.
