WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY INFORMED ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY AT THE UT?

Events with(out) impact

Events large and small are an important part of life on campus. While organizers want their events to have impact on their participants, the goal is to do so while having as little impact on the environment as possible. Therefore, the UT is working on realizing CO2 neutral events, circular events and congresses by reducing waste, transfering to low environmental impact food options and other sustainability criteria.

Events at a glance
  • The UT focuses on realizing plastic-free events as soon as possible
  • Small-scale pilot events that are completely waste-free will be organized in the coming period
  • On-campus events organized by external parties will report on their sustainability perfomance from 2023 onwards
