Trier is going green! Starting next semester, you can get a certificate in sustainability. Sustainability is becoming more and more important, and it's one of the university's top priorities. The certificate program provides students with a fundamental understanding of sustainability and aims to familiarize them with its various facets. At the same time, it offers a unique qualification for their future careers. The certificate is issued by the Department of Law. More information can be found on the Green Office website.

Another year, another book. "The Civil Service in Europe" is an open-access book, published by Routledge in January 2025.

This book expands civil service research from a national to a transnational European perspective. It examines the evolving public administration landscape, analyzing historical, social, and political influences. Written by experts across Europe, it integrates legal analysis with insights from public management, political science, and sociology. Key topics include employment systems, digitalization, AI, anti-corruption efforts, and administrative culture. Addressing global challenges like climate change and migration, the book identifies common European standards and offers practical guidance for public service reforms, making it a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
