Launch of the “Green Challenges 2022” campaign
This event has passed!
The partner universities participating in the European UNI-ECO project are simultaneously launching a call for projects entitled "Green Challenges 2022" aimed at students and staff at the University of Montpellier.
What is a "green challenge"? It is a challenge issued to campus users to develop projects aimed at improving sustainability on their university campus, with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
This year, the themes for projects are as follows:
- raising awareness of SDGs and sustainable development in general;
- actions aimed at conserving and increasing biodiversity on campus;
- moving towards a circular economy at the university;
- encourage efficient use of resources (water, energy, alternatives to plastic, transportation/mobility, etc.).
Are you studying or working at the University of Montpellier and would like to help build the sustainable university of tomorrow? Then join us and take action for a greener campus!
Form a team of 2 to 5 people and submit your project online on the UNI-ECO platform. You can also join an incomplete team to share your skills and increase your chances of winning.
The selected projects will receive support to help them take shape and may be eligible for financial assistance from the selection committee. A winning team will be chosen and will have the opportunity to present its project to an international audience at the UNI-ECO summer school, providing a unique opportunity for international networking.
The call for projects is open from November 15 to December 5, 2021. So choose a challenge to take on now and submit your vision for a sustainable campus!
For more information, please refer to the terms and conditions of the call for proposals.
If you have any questions, please contact us by email.
The European UNI-ECO project
The UNI-ECO project is a "Strategic Partnership" co-funded by the European Commission's Erasmus+ program. It is an initiative led by the University of Montpellier in partnership with the University of Barcelona, Utrecht University, Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, and Trinity College Dublin (all members of the CHARM-EU alliance), as well as the UNIMED university network and the NGO CESIE.
This project aims to raise awareness of sustainable development and encourage cooperation and action among all university campus users (students, academic and non-academic staff) towards a sustainable campus.
During the first phase of the project, an "assessment of sustainable development in higher education institutions" was carried out. Analysis of the results of this study in partner institutions, which included self-assessments by universities and surveys of students and staff, identified priority areas for action and defined common "green challenges," which form the core of this call for projects.
An initial call for proposals was launched last year, resulting in the selection of 25 projects from the five partner universities.
