Participate
As a university, we are already doing very much in the field of sustainability ourselves. But you can help us too.
Would you like to actively think along or contribute to a more sustainable university and a greener world? At UU, there are enough possibilities for you to get to work on sustainability during your degree programme. Here, you can read what you can do.
Green Office
The Green Office is the sustainability platform of Utrecht University. We would like to involve our students and activate them when it comes to sustainability. The Green Office is an open platform where students and staff members of Utrecht University can launch their own plans and projects to make our university more sustainable. Do you have a beautiful, groundbreaking, daring or stubborn project idea? If you do, please do contact us!
Green Teams
Green Teams are seminar groups in which students and staff members collaborate to make their faculties more sustainable. They chart the sustainability statuses at their faculties, look for solutions together and start new projects. Green Teams are an initiative of the Utrecht University Green Office. The strength of the Green Teams is in the approach per faculty. Every Green Team is a part of a faculty with unique challenges and opportunities in the field of sustainability.
Various beautiful initiatives have already been launched, such as a Repair Café, the Utrecht Students Tree Fund and a Tiny Forest at USP. The Green Office also makes for awareness among students and staff members of the sustainable efforts and ambitions of Utrecht University.
