We aim to advance science and technology for the benefit of our society. The members of the university are committed to the principle of sustainable development, which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. For us, research and teaching are inseparably linked. We make our innovative, technology-oriented contribution to shaping the future through holistic approaches. We acknowledge our responsibility – also historically based – for socially and ethically oriented research and teaching committed to humanism. Against this background, natural sciences, planning sciences, and engineering sciences are researched and taught in close conjunction, on an equal footing with the humanities and social sciences. We pursue exclusively civil purposes in research and teaching. The members of the university actively promote equality between women and men and create family-friendly study and working conditions. We ensure equal opportunities as well as freedom from discrimination at all levels of the university organization. We explicitly consider the plurality of worldviews and lifestyles in teaching and research.
