  The aim of building block 8 is to establish an environmental information system (EIS) for the university which corresponds to the requirements of the environmental management system. The main objective of the EIS is to collect, administrate and present all of the relevant data regarding the university in the above-mentioned environmental areas. For this the databanks at the operative level (the individual administrative departments) need to be linked. On the one hand, the EIS should simplify the annual ecobalance. On the other hand, it should facilitate an effective ecocontrolling of the university. Furthermore, information concerning all of the environmental management building blocks can be prepared for presentation to the public and members of the university, e.g. via an internal intranet. The EIS can then also be used for environmental training and courses for the staff.

A concept for an EIS for the University of Osnabrück was developed by Berens 1998. Its implementation is intended within the framework of the general management information system, the development of which was started in 1998.
