Thorsten Schlüter looks back on an inspiring research stay at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, USA. Last year, he spent two months there contributing to a project on Greenwashing, which he advanced together with Dr. Florian Berg, Prof. Dr. Johann Nils Foege, and Dr. Frederik Maibaum at the MIT Sustainability Initiative. The project focuses on the question of how companies report environmental violations and whether they disclose such information at all. Its aim is to develop a deeper understanding of corporate communication, responsibility, and sustainability.

The research stay offered Thorsten not only the opportunity for intensive academic work but also stimulating discussions and valuable exchanges with international experts. The insights gained during this time have significantly shaped his ongoing research and continue to provide important impulses for future projects.
