Sustainability in Campus Operations

About Sustainability in Campus & Operations

We want to enable and encourage our students and employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle and create a buoyant culture of compassion, well-being, equality and social engagement for everybody and acts as a home away from home. The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ campus is being transformed into a designated area where walking, cycling and public transport are stimulated. Within our operations, we aim at healthy materials and raw materials which we can reuse endlessly within a circular process. Our green campus contributes to the preservation and enhancement of the quality of life for humans and animals while our events follow a strict Sustainability Policy

Get your hands dirty on campus with our GROW Community!

Meet Grow!  We are a community garden located on the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ campus where we meet regularly to grow some beautiful plants. From strawberries to flowers, you name it. 

In 2024, we launched an official pilot where we invited staff and students from all over campus to plant seeds for the upcoming season. Since then, we’ve been meeting weekly to keep the greenhouse thriving and we regularly organize gardening related events.

Does this sound exciting to you? Come get your hands dirty with us—everyone’s invited to dig in!

"I work on our dynamic campus, a vibrant mini-society where I have the freedom to make a real impact. Every day, I navigate a fast-moving environment filled with fresh ideas and young minds that bring energy and innovation. I love working across diverse fields of sustainability— from vitality to mobility, from energy to biodiversity— and collaborating with enthusiastic, ambitious colleagues gives me a huge boost. Working with students keeps me young and sharp, constantly challenging me with fresh perspectives. The best part of my job is seeing how small ideas can spark real change, shaping the campus in meaningful ways. If you’re curious about my work or have an idea to share, let’s connect!"
