Opening Tapijn A Student Sustainability Hub

UM created a dedicated space for collaboration and knowledge exchange amongst the different initiatives and students active in sustainability at Tapijn A.

Taskforce Sustainable UM2030 collaborated with the Green Office and the student-led network Klimaat Actie Netwerk (KAN) Maastricht (Precious Plastics Maastricht, Foodcoop, Maastricht4Climate, KAN Party). 

Tapijn A will be a temporary location available for meetings, workshops, small-scale events and other activities related to sustainability. The building has not been renovated, so facilities are limited and low-tech. Tapijn A has been set up as a place for students, but UM employees are very welcome to join and to co-organise events.

Liasons meeting Student Sustainability Hub

The day will start with a liasons meeting, from 8:30-10:30 hours. The purpose of the meeting is to get to know the Student Sustainability Hub and each other, while exchanging ideas and expectations. Taskforce Sustainable UM2030, Green Office and a KAN representative will be present.

The SDG flag will be raised for the opening.
