New job profile in the Puma study program
The main aim of the project is to develop a curriculum for our Public Management Bachelor’s degree. Students who aspire to work in the public sector should be prepared for the fact that adaptation to climate change (in line with climate protection) will be a central component of municipal task profiles in the future. A secondary objective of our project is therefore to further develop the job profile of the climate adaptation manager.
We work with a network of local actors in our region to ensure a close link to practice. Another secondary objective of the project is to explore how teaching at universities today must be designed in order to develop knowledge and practices in harmony with planetary boundaries.
