As part of our working partnership with Studentenwerke (STW), the TUCO Academy is supporting the facilitation for TUCO members attendance at the European Student Services Conference on Sustainability at the Albert Ludwig University Freiberg on the 22nd - 26th August.

Overview

OVERVIEW

This conference is the French-German Colloquium on Student Services: Campus of the future: sustainable, social and digital. It's an opportunity for attendees to share the experiences of the pandemic for student life and current developments in higher education in Europe and to join the discussion on the whole range of sustainability as a challenge and an opportunity with colleagues from France, Germany and Europe.

Who is this for?

This event is for thought leaders, decision makers, and policy visionaries from food service operations in the TUCO membership, who would like to discuss sustainability ideas, network internationally, and to learn about new innovations for the management level of student services institutions and higher education institutions alike. 

Why should I take part?

As well as discovering how sustainability is developed and delivered on the continent you will be able to meet peers from the TUCO membership and several European countries. There is a full programme of sessions over the four days and all lectures and discussions will be interpreted simultaneously or consecutively. Language mediation during the accompanying programme will be provided. The Conference includes a tour of the University facilities at Freiberg and networking social dinners in the evening.

The cultural programme designed by the STW Freiburg also offers a variety of impressions of the city of Freiburg; in addition to a reception at City Hall, an organ concert in Freiburg Cathedral, a tour of the vineyards on the Baden Wine Route is also planned.

How will it help me?

During the event, you will benefit from presentations and panel discussions on:

  • Campus of the future: sustainability as an imperative strategy for the future of student affairs
  • A sustainable campus: sustainable innovations in residence halls and dining services

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Who can use the training with TUCO Academy?

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.

    Yes – the person making the booking doesn’t have to attend.
