LIVEABLE

The German Research Foundation (DFG) funded project on green buildings and lived sustainabilities in Germany and Luxembourg (LIVEABLE, 2023-2026) studies everyday practices in and around green buildings through the interdependencies between conception and implementation as well as daily practices of living and working in green buildings. The focus lies on the transformation of everyday users' "lived sustainabilities" but also the resistance to changes characterized by interdependencies between discourses of green building (perspectives and interpretations), building activities, living and working, and the green buildings themselves (materialities).

Plast.Ed

Plastic and their waste is of particular importance in the context of environmental and waste problems due to their quantity, long decomposition time and the spread of microplastics. The Plast.Ed project (10/2022 - 09/2024) implements a plastic recycling workshop at the University of Trier as a real-world laboratory and extracurricular learning location for education for sustainable development.
