That seems to have left a mark. During my time at ETH in Zurich I became increasingly involved in the Student Sustainability Commission and wow...

Of course, you need motivated individuals to push for change, but you need cooperation just as much.

More broadly, I see life as a communal process of creating. That perspective makes me happy, at the very least. Hence, my main goal in life is to bring people together around shared values that emerge from and change through conversation. + So far, my efforts in this respect have been centered mostly around the theme of climate change. + <br> + <br> + Here is a summary of previous projects during my undergrad at ETH, Zurich: + <ul class=w3-left-align> + <li>During my first semesters, I became increasingly involved in the <a href="https://ssc.ethz.ch/"> Student Sustainability Commission</a>. There, my work focused on creating a community to bundle the motivation of individual students from all disciplines.</li> + <li> Similarly, I asked the more specific question of <i>"How can physicists contribute to solving the climate crisis?"</i>. To generate discussion in our own physics department, I organized the <a href="https://www.phys.ethz.ch/the-department/sustainability/nhw2021.html"> Sustainability Week @DPHYS 2021</a> and launched an <a href="https://www.phys.ethz.ch/news-and-events/internal-news/d-phys-intern/2021/06/klima-ich-habe-keine-zeit-gilt-nicht.html">interview series</a>.</li> + <li>I also discussed in depth how to achieve a net-zero university with staff from all corners of ETH - the finance and infrastructure department, ETH Foresight and the ETH Air Travel Project, professors working on carbon capture... These discussions converged in my final semester in spring 2021, when we wrote the internal white paper <i>ETH NettoNull</i> for the Executive Board. <a href="https://ethz.ch/services/en/news-and-events/internal-news/archive/2021/12/eth-sustainability-to-be-realigned.html">First steps</a> towards its implementation are being made. (Personally, I hope the board will be more bold in coming months)</li> + <li>Before graduating from ETH, I wanted to pass this conviction on to future students. Hence, I pulled together <a href="https://ssc.ethz.ch/assets/earth_magazine.pdf">The EarTH Magazine - Edition Cooperation</a>. Stories of teamwork, compiled from all levels of ETH. + + <br> + <br> + A lesson I learnt overall: <i>Culture eats strategy for breakfast. (Peter Drucker)</i> </ul> -</body> + <p class=w3-left-align> Now, I am building on these experiences at my current home at Perimeter Institute, Canada. Together with researchers and admin, I am initiating a climate action working group. Our aim is to generate an internal culture of "every job is a climate job", even when you´re working at a theoretical physics institute.</p> + </p> + </div> - <h4>Online Whiteboard</h4> - <input type="text" id="whiteboard_name" placeholder="Whiteboard name"> - <input type="text" id="user_name" placeholder="Username"> - <button id="Whitebord_button" onclick="redirect_whiteboard()">Open whiteboard</button> + <div id="Journaling Thoughts" class="w3-container concept" style="display:none"> + <h2></h2> -<script> - function redirect_whiteboard() { - let user = document.getElementById("user_name").value; - let id = document.getElementById("whiteboard_name").value; - window.location = "https://kobert.dev/whiteboard/?whiteboardid=" + id + "&username=" + user; - } -</script> + <p class=w3-left-align>A provoking book, a stirring conversation.
