Sustainability Days

Sustainability Days 2024 is here with a new, more accessible format!

We are happy to present Sustainability Days 2024! 6 days across April, May, and June full of events about the topic of sustainable development across UM. There days are organised by the UM Green Office and supported by Sustainable UM2030 and SWOL.

For this year's edition, our Faculty Green Teams have each organized their own Faculty Day. Each Faculty Day will have its specific activities, workshops and lectures highlighting the role of sustainability within their curriculum and faculty topics.

Faculty Days

The faculty days are bringing together faculty staff, companies and students to learn more about sustainability topics related to their specific interests and faculty topics. The faculty days are open to everyone, so if you are interested in exploring different sustainability topics or faculties this is your chance.
