European Sustainable Development Week, campus: everyone circular!

As part of European Sustainable Development Week, the Student Life Office (BVE) at the University of Montpellier is setting you an environmentally friendly challenge! From September 19 to October 10, students and staff are invited to hop on their bikes and take part in an initiative that combines health, sustainable transport, and protecting the planet.

Through this challenge, the BVE and the University of Montpellier aim to encourage the use of bicycles as an eco-friendly means of transportation, while raising awareness among the university community about the challenges of sustainable mobility, a key theme of European Sustainable Development Week. Register for free on our partner's app, track the kilometers you've cycled, and follow your performance in real time!

Every pedal stroke is a step towards reducing your carbon footprint, while contributing to a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. At the end of the challenge, a prize will be awarded to the people who have traveled the most kilometers. Beyond the reward, it's about participating in a movement that is fully rooted in health and sustainable mobility!

Screening: “Why We Cycle” & awards ceremony

In collaboration with ENSCM, the University of Montpellier invites you to a screening of the documentary "Why We Cycle" on October 10, followed by a discussion with one of the directors.

This film explores the many benefits of cycling in urban areas, whether for health, freedom, or trust between cyclists and drivers. It also highlights the reasons why the Netherlands is one of the most cyclist-friendly countries in the world. At the end of the screening, the cycling challenge awards ceremony will take place!

Screening and awards ceremony on Thursday, October 10, starting at 6 p.m., Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier, Amphi Mousseron, 240 Av. du Professeur Emile Jeanbrau, Montpellier.
