We are platform for students and employees of Utrecht University (UU) where sustainable ideas come together and plans are sharpened, with the objective to make the university more sustainable. We also enhance the awareness of students and staff about the sustainable ambitions of the UU. Many activities already take place at the UU on the topic of sustainability. In order to let students and staff
participate in this process, the UU founded the Green Office in 2013, with the help of SOON. The Green Office focuses on the following tasks:
- We organize several events and campaigns which aim to improve sustainability at UU, according to four themes (Mobility, Circularity, Food, and Biodiversity).
- We provide an overview of all the ongoing activities and of all the people within the university who are involved on the topic of sustainability.
- The Green Office provides support to transform ideas of students and staff into running projects. The support provided can be finances, advice, or the Green Office network.
- The Green Office wants to close the gap between students, staff and the university itself. Creating a more sustainable world will not happen by itself; we have to do it together!
