The CTS//TUA.summer.school deals with interdisciplinary, theoretical, and practical research regarding the topics Sustainability, Environment, and Technology. In addition to the scientific study of these topics, you will critically examine the use of new technologies and the implementation of transformation processes in companies, governments, educational institutions, entire regions, and society as a whole.

You will primarily focus on sustainability issues in your scientific work as part of your dissertation. In addition to raising your awareness of the impact of technologies and (change) processes, you will also gain insights into potentials, current trends, and the development of state-of-the-art approaches in innovative technology development and subsequent transformation processes.

In addition, research topics that have actual or potential implications for future policy and practice regarding sustainability will be addressed.
