Studium Planetare is a pilot project designed by Klasse Klima and funded by the Stiftung Innovation Hochschullehre for the long-term integration of applied climate education at art colleges. The project, which has been running since April 2024, will offer two seminars and a lecture series over three semesters, starting in the winter semester [of the academic year] 2024/25. The interdisciplinary and collaborative seminar and lecture series Studium Planetare is part of the Studium Generale at the UdK Berlin. The events are open to everyone.

The goal of Studium Planetare is to comprehensively analyze the dimensions of the climate crisis in order to address one of the most pressing issues of our time in an interdisciplinary and collaborative manner. Students will be given access to climate-friendly education as part of their studies. In addition, a space will be created in which art and design disciplines can engage with socio-ecological challenges and options for action. New learning methods and extended concepts of knowledge beyond institutional teaching formats will be tested in the courses.

The art and design disciplines must fulfill their ecological responsibility. Studium Planetare develops a climate-friendly curriculum and promotes the transformation of teaching and learning. After the end of the project, Studium Planetare will be established in a long-term perspective.
