Our commitment to sustainability
Sustainability is an integral part of TÜV AUSTRIA’s corporate strategy. This also applies to TÜV AUSTRIA events. The resource-conserving use of energy and water, the avoidance of waste and catering with seasonal and regional food and drinks are important to TÜV AUSTRIA in terms of sustainability.
Guests at the TÜV AUSTRIA Science Award 2024 can contribute to making this event even more environmentally friendly:
- Choose environmentally friendly travel options. TU Wien is not only very well connected to the public transportation network, there are also bicycle racks in front of and inside the building.
- If you are staying overnight in Vienna, please choose an environmentally certified hotel if possible.
- We ask you to separate waste. Sufficient disposal facilities are available at TU Wien for this purpose.
- We ask you to use water in the sanitary facilities in a way that conserves resources.
- The domed hall of TU Wien can be reached by elevator, a short walk up the stairs helps to save electricity.
Barrier-free visit
Barrier-free access to the TU Wien building at Karlsplatz 13 and the Kuppelsaal enables visitors with reduced mobility to participate in the event.
