It is shown how the disciplines contributes to the solutions of major societal challenges such as sustainable development, mobility and global change. Then, the structure of German universities is shortly explained, followed by an overview of where in the country the discipline can be studied. Finally, the example of Leibniz University Hannover, one of the prime centres of excellence in the field, is described in more detail. We thus hope to encourage young talents to consider this exciting field of studies for their future career.
