On 7 August 2025, our doctoral scholarship holders Carina Diemel and Klara Theobald accompanied Professor Martin Faulstich to the EUREF Campus Düsseldorf as part of the summer tour of North Rhine-Westphalia’s Environment Minister Oliver Krischer.

The event kicked off with a short welcome speech in the dome of the EUREF Campus by Reinhard Müller, founder and member of the EUREF Campus Executive Board. Professor Martin Faulstich then presented the degree programmes and educational opportunities that will be offered in Düsseldorf in the future. Lectures will begin here in the 2025/2026 winter semester with two new master’s degree programmes:

• M. Sc. Sustainable Energy and Hydrogen Infrastructures

• M. Sc. Management of Smart and Sustainable Energy Systems

This was followed by a tour of the EUREF campus, where the companies based there, Schneider Electric, SPIE and DUSBeyond, introduced themselves. Environment Minister Oliver Krischer took the opportunity to find out about innovative projects and training opportunities in the environmental sector.

Schneider Electric reported on its sustainability strategy and presented practical examples of the successful implementation of sustainability projects.

SPIE presented itself in its new showroom and demonstrated how the company specifically recruits and trains skilled workers with the aim of increasing the attractiveness of technical trades.

DUSBeyond presented the airport’s sustainability strategy and three selected projects that contribute significantly to strengthening sustainability.
