Sustainability Festival
The Department of Cross-Disciplinary Studies,
in collaboration with PBU Angewandte (Plant-Based Universities Vienna), invites you to the Sustainability Festival 2026. A
one-day, student-organised festival exploring sustainability through public talks, workshops, creative interventions, and
community activities.
We are excited to welcome speakers
from communities and organisations working directly on some of the most pressing questions surrounding food, agriculture,
sustainability, and social change.

critical perspectives, and concrete examples of change already taking place.

market, connect with others & just chill!
