Comparison 2022 and 2024

In our mission statement, TU Wien Bibliothek commits to becoming a green and sustainable library. Working towards this goal, our focus was on mobility once again in 2024. This year, students and librarians, and for the first time, all TU Wien employees were invited to participate in the campaigns "Wien radelt" (Vienna cycles) and "Niederösterreich radelt" (Lower Austria cycles). 62 persons accepted the challenge (compared to 31 participants in 2023).

Between 20 March and 30 September, the participants covered a total of 36,670 kilometres by bike or on foot (2023: 18,690km), which corresponds to a saving of 6,469 kg in CO2 emissions (2023: 3,297kg) compared to car journeys. TU Wien staff and students made their daily lives more active and achieved health benefits, as well as contributing to a more sustainable environment.

We thank all participants, particularly our students, for their contributions!
