"Una Terra" - the sister format of the university's internal funding Terra Incognita is about bringing to life dormant potential and ideas in the context of sustainability. Novel formats, research approaches, ideas for science communication, events, prototypes, everything is possible if it contributes to sustainable development. "Una Terra" is designed to enable university members at all career levels to come up with short-term ideas that can be implemented quickly and contribute to one of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Ideally, disciplines will combine to implement inter- or transdisciplinary ideas.
