The ETSM2030 project was presented as an example of good practice at a poster exhibition during Sustainability Week at the University of Innsbruck.

From November 10 to 14, 2025, the University of Innsbruck hosted its third Sustainability Week.
The aim of the poster exhibition was to showcase research projects and initiatives at the University that contribute to sustainability—both on campus and beyond.

The exhibition opened during the kick-off event on November 10, 2025, at the Ágnes-Heller Haus. After a welcome address by the Rector of the University of Innsbruck, Veronika Sexl, guests were invited to a relaxed brunch, where the posters were presented and visitors had the opportunity to ask questions. Birgit Pikkemaat and Claudia Rauch, Austrian project team members from the University of Innsbruck, represented the ETSM2030 project at the kick-off event.

During the recent ETSM2030 training session, Theresa Geißel from Innsbruck Tourismus invited participants to look at sustainable tourism through the lens of collaboration. Under the theme “Collaborative Sustainability: DMO and SMTEs Shaping Tourism Together”, she illustrated how Innsbruck’s sustainability strategy was shaped hand-in-hand with local businesses—turning individual efforts into collective impact.

From mobility solutions to accessible visitor experiences, the session showed how SMTEs can actively contribute to a more responsible tourism ecosystem. Inspiring examples from regional partnerships highlighted what becomes possible when DMOs and businesses work side by side.
