Milena Glimbovski is an entrepreneur, author and activist. She became known as a pioneer of the zero-waste movement in Germany with the "Original Unverpackt" supermarket and today advises organisations on sustainable business, climate-friendly communication and future issues. For her, sustainability is not just an issue, but everyday life, a contradiction and a political tool.

On Thursday, 23 October, Glimbovski will be a guest at Paderborn University. In her lecture "From 0 to Purpose - Founding between Idealism and Reality", she will look at entrepreneurship in times of crisis and the question of how we can become effective in the face of tipping points in the climate and in society.

The lecture is part of the lecture series "UPB for Future", which will take place regularly on Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. in lecture theatre L1 in the winter semester 2025/2026. All interested parties are cordially invited to take part and approach the topic of sustainability as one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Registration is not necessary, but seating in the lecture theatre is limited.

The lecture series is organised by Dr. Katharina Schardt, member of the Educational Innovations and University Didactics department at Paderborn University. Further information and the current programme can be found here.
