Welcome to the Sustainability Walk
Discover sustainable measures on the campus of the University of Twente!
At the University of Twente, various initiatives have contributed to our shared goal of having a sustainable campus. All around on campus, you can find special spots and initiatives that contribute to achieving these goals. To highlight some of these initiatives, the SEE-programme created the Sustainability Walk: a walking route on UT's beautiful green campus that lets you explore what we do to become a sustainabile organisation.
Thirteen signs on campus, placed near these initiatives, explain which steps were taken towards a more sustainable campus. Want to know how the Cool Circle, located near the Horst, really works? And what measures have been taken during the renovation of Langezijds? The Sustainability Walk will answer these questions and more.
Come see for yourself and explore the best sustainable solutions UT has to offer while walking around our beautiful campus.

Will there be a guide?
The Sustainability Walk is designed so that anyone will be able to walk the route on their own. Sometimes, members of the SEE-programme will organise walks in which they join as tour guide. This way, you’ll learn even more about various other points which are not included as signs at this time.
If you want to request a tour guide, we kindly request you to email sustainability@utwente.nl
We will look at the possibilities together!
Where do I start?
The University of Twente will keep working hard to contribute to our shared goal of having a sustainable campus even further. This means that new initiatives are being developed as we speak, and more signs may be added in the future. The Sustainability Walk does not have a fixed route: instead, you can start at any of the thirteen signs and simply scan the QR-code to learn more about the initiative and get directions to the next sign. Happy walking!

To reach this goal, the ambitions of Shaping2030 need to be put into practice.
