The Hochschule Campus Wien offers 60 bachelor's and master's degree programmes as well as master's courses in the departments of Applied Life Sciences, Building and Design, Health Sciences, Nursing Science, Public Sector, Social Sciences and Technology, and currently has around 5,800 students (as of 2017). The multidisciplinary portfolio is an important development potential for our university. In future, interdisciplinary cooperation is to be further expanded through cross-departmental courses for students. Since autumn 2017, Hochschule Campus Wien has been offering open courses that can be attended by students from all fields of study and that are creditable for all degree programmes.

Department

Applied Life Sciences

As part of this project, the Section Packaging and Resource Management is developing a course entitled "Methods of waste prevention and resource conservation in the packaging sector", which will be held as part of these open courses. This is of particular interest to the Departments of Applied Life Sciences, Building and Design and Engineering, as the topic of waste prevention and resource conservation is not yet sufficiently anchored there. By offering the course as an open course, the methods and instruments for the resource-saving use of packaging materials are made accessible to a broad audience at Hochschule Campus Wien (approx. 50 students/year) across all departments.

In addition, this project will develop a research catalogue that includes current and practice-relevant topics from the field of waste prevention and resource conservation. This research catalogue will be available for Bachelor's theses not only for students of the Sustainable Resource Management study program, but for all study programs at Hochschule Campus Wien.
