Arqus launches the first Green Mobility Days Award!

Arqus Green Mobility Days is an initiative promoted by the Arqus European University Alliance to foster and look for new ways to implement green mobility. This joint call represents a pillar of the initiative mentioned above and its main aim is to identify good practices in the field of sustainability that can spark innovative approaches to green mobility within the Alliance.

In the framework of the Green Mobility Days, Arqus partner universities are committed to the implementation, during the month of April and on a yearly basis, of various activities at local level which aim at raising awareness within their academic communities of sustainable ways of managing international mobility, whether it comes to choose a greener mean of transport when travelling abroad or reduce the impact of daily habits while living in the hosting cities.

The call’s objective is to select the most remarkable project suggested or carried out by a member of an Arqus university (as an individual or on behalf of an organisation) for its capability of:

• sensitising people towards the impact that personal choices may have on the ecosystem,
• improving the sustainability of a product or service,
• producing a multiplier effect on local communities,
• targeting mobile students or staff.

This call is open to students, lecturers, administrative staff members, researchers and to any other person with a role related to one of the Arqus partner universities: Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon 1, Maynooth, Minho, Padova, Vilnius and Wrocław. Candidates can apply on behalf of an association or student organisation.

The deadline for applicants is 15^th May 2024. The award winning project will be announced by 28th June 2024.
