Senate Committees

The Senate Committee for Sustainable Mobility in Rural Areas has a cross-faculty interdisciplinary function at HFU. This committee was founded in March 2015. Its establishment was preceded by an active working group. The focus of this committee is on the mobility of our university, i.e. students, employees and professors alike.

The current focus is on efficient public transport connections and e-mobility. In addition to traditional research projects, semester projects are also regularly created for our students. The focus here is on issues such as environmentally friendly, efficient and socially acceptable transport connections.
