Veganuary at the University of Konstanz

Four Thursdays ahead with full plant power – join in and share your feedback!

Why Veganuary with Seezeit?

Last summer, you handed over a petition with more than a thousand signatures to us at the University of Konstanz. You called for a weekly, fully plant-based Mensa-day to support better climate protection, animal welfare, health, and greater participation. During Veganuary, we are now testing together how we can meet this request – openly and with your feedback.

What’s happening in January?

On all four Thursdays, the Mensa Gießberg will offer exclusively plant-based dishes at lunchtime across all serving lines. We are deliberately focusing on your most popular dishes, so this is not a food experiment but a chance to enjoy the best plant-based options from our regular menu.

What this means for you: Taste it & rate it

Share your feedback in our January survey – online, quick, anonymous, and impactful.

Veganuary – the global campaign

With our four days in January, we are not alone: Veganuary is an international campaign that encourages people to eat a fully plant-based diet throughout January – voluntarily, with no obligation, and with plenty of support. As we are running our pilot project as part of Veganuary, anyone who wishes can sign up on the official website veganuary.com and receive:

• recipe ideas and nutrition tips,

• a digital cookbook,

• information on climate protection, health, and animal welfare.
   

Sign up now at veganuary.com and receive the 31-day email series, meal plans, information on key nutrients, and the official Veganuary celebrity cookbook with delicious vegan recipes. It’s free, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

What does this mean – and what doesn’t it mean?

We take your suggestions to heart and want to realistically test what is feasible. To do so, we are collecting data to further improve our services. This does not mean making permanent changes "from one day to the next", nor does it mean removing existing options. It's not about giving something up, but adding to our offering.

And after Veganuary?

We will then evaluate the results with the students and the mensa-team. Your feedback and input will help us to make informed decisions. How could a permanent plant-based day be implemented in a practical and achievable way?
