We are part of the European University EURECA-PRO
As a proud member of the EURECA-PRO – European University on Responsible Consumption and Production, TU Bergakademie Freiberg opens doors to an international, interdisciplinary and forward-looking learning and research environment. Together with eight partner universities across Europe, we work towards creating a fully integrated European campus by 2040, dedicated to addressing one of the most pressing global challenges: sustainable consumption and production. The members of the initiative European University on Responsible Consumption and Production are intended to represent a new form of cooperation between higher education institutions in Europe with the long-term goal of strengthening the excellence of the European Higher Education Area.

Our Goal
These 9 partners joined forces to enable students and staff to study, teach and research in the field of responsible consumption and production with the long-term goal of a joined virtual and integrated European campus until 2040.

Vision and Mission
THE LONG-TERM MISSION IN DETAIL BY 2040...
Our joint vision is to realise the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) through excellent education, research, and innovation. EURECA-PRO fosters systemic, interdisciplinary solutions that contribute to a sustainable future, while empowering students, researchers, and society to think and act responsibly.
EURECA-PRO implements all structures and actions necessary to reach its laid-out vision. Out of these actions, Research Flagships eventually evolve. They unite research clusters which generate interdisciplinary, holistic and systemic knowledge on RCP. The knowledge created is then transferred into the educational activities that are housed in the EURECA-PRO Degree Programmes, Doctoral School and Life-long Learning Academy ELLA, that are set up. In these schools and programmes critical, future-oriented, multi-dimensional change-makers and citizens on all levels are cultivated and transversally skilled by highly innovative educators. Through EURECA-PRO’s unified approach in establishing joint structures and cross-border collaboration encompassing extensive exchange and mobility between the partners, barriers can be identified and strategies devised to eliminate these for the evolution of deeply integrated cooperation.
This huge endeavour seeks to transform the mindset of all stakeholders involved so that science, education, innovation and integration are recognised as key to the solution of complex societal challenges. Only interdisciplinary and systemic approaches can lead to the desired solutions.
