European project UNI-ECO launches “Green challenges? for a more sustainable university

Institucional The European project UNI-ECO, in which the UB takes part, launches the campaign "Green challeges: towards a more sustainable campus'. The initiative is aimed at those people of the university community who are interested in building a more sustainable university. Participation is easy: one needs to be part of the team, choose a challenge out of the ones in the website of the project, and submit a proposal to create a more sustainable campus. Universities play an important role in the transition of society towards a more sustainable life. From this context results the interuniversity project Erasmus+ UNI-ECO, which suggests developing practical and collaborative tools for innovation in sustainability at the university. The project counts on the participation of all centers members of the alliance CHARM-EU: the University of Montpellier, which coordinates the initiative in collaboration with the University of Barcelona, Utrecht University, Eötvös Loránd University, and Trinity College Dublin. The UNI-ECO project responds to the need to change our lifestyle and production methods to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment.
