Sustainability
Sustainability has been a crucial issue for several years now. Governments, authorities, public bodies, companies and private citizens: no one is excluded from the discussion. We are all called upon to do our part and propose solutions to safeguard the planet. Higher education institutions are no exception: it is a fact that CO2 emissions from the air travel (but only only) of professors, staff and students contribute significantly to the impact on the environment. One is therefore faced with the major challenge of reducing CO2 emissions and at the same time implementing internationalisation strategies.
The International Relations and Study Abroad Service, in line with the recommendations of the National Agency Movetia and the principles of the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, proposes a series of recommendations and makes available a selection of useful tools to help reduce CO2 emissions:
- Useful information to raise the awareness of the student population on this important issue;
- Resources and tools to help students make an informed choice when organising a study trip away from home;
- Hints and ideas on how to behave respectfully and in a way that minimises the impact on the environment in everyday life at home and on the move.
