Prof. Billington authors in “One Topic, One Loop”
Sustainability and inclusivity must go hand in hand
In the “One Topic, One Loop” global discourse series initiated by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), four individuals from different countries and universities discuss current topics in research and teaching. The series begins with an initial question to which the first person responds and asks the next person another question on the same topic. Prof. Sarah Billington is one of the featured authors in the series. The topic of this series is how universities can integrate sustainability into their infrastructure and daily activities.
Prof. Billington reflects on how an inclusive and creative environment at universities fosters sustainability efforts. She emphasizes the importance of diverse academic ecosystems, cross-disciplinary programs addressing complex challenges, and supportive administration that gives students and faculty freedom to thrive.
