Empowering Green Initiatives: Introducing Utrecht 木瓜福利影视's Sustainability Fund
Introducing: The Sustainability Fund. A central fund that enables employees and students of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 to seek funds for establishing green initiatives and living labs on campus, encouraging transdisciplinary approaches to conquer sustainability challenges. It offers grants for projects big and small, from 鈧50 up to 鈧50.000 euros. The fund is an initiative of the Sustainability Office and was established to help the university fulfill its goals towards transitioning to a socially and environmentally sustainable institution.
Why this fund?
Susanne Nijssen, team manager UULabs: 鈥淎t the Sustainability Office, we often get requests from students and employees that want to start an initiative to accelerate the sustainable development of the university. Money and lack of time are important reasons why some potentially great initiatives don鈥檛 see the light of day.鈥 With this fund, the university wants to offer financial aid to initiatives that contribute to Utrecht 木瓜福利影视鈥檚 strategic goals.
One fund, two grants
The Sustainability Fund consists of two grants. The Green Spark Grant aims to help realize practical sustainability initiatives on the university campus. Associated with the Green Office, this grant hopes to promote smaller scale sustainability ideas and initiatives from members of the UU community. Amounts of up to 鈧5,000 can be awarded.
The Campus Sustainability Grant is associated with UULabs and aims to encourage the establishment and growth of living labs on the university campus. Using a transdisciplinary approach, these labs are intended for sustainability research and experiments that contribute to solving sustainability challenges of the university. Amounts of up to 鈧50,000 can be awarded.
Both grants have different application procedures and assessment criteria.
We welcome you to apply and contribute to sustainable development of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
