Sustainability

From here… 

At Maastricht University, sustainability is a cornerstone of our education programmes, our research and our everyday operations. The UM Sustainability Roadmap 2030, our sustainability strategy, will guide that process. Going sustainable as a university is not a one-day task, nor a one-way street. It’s a path towards a goal that is always moving. Since ideas about what is sustainable change quite regularly, sustainability is not a box you check once and leave at that. 

 …to various sustainability projects

Because sustainability is a fluid goal, our approach is flexible and multifaceted. We will highlight sustainability projects initiated by students, staff members, and the university itself. Some may focus on changing personal habits, others on improving the university grounds, but all of them bring us one step closer to our goals. 

…to you 

We invite you to join the cause and take part in the implementation of the Roadmap 2030. We need your input on how we could improve our policies and your enthusiasm to push existing initiatives further. Together, we strive for a green, healthy, and thriving UM community, working towards a climate-neutral and circular UM campus. So take the leap with us…

 UM Sustainability Report 2025
The latest Sustainability Report of UM has just been published. The report provides an insight into how sustainability is becoming increasingly integrated into both the organisation itself and the people who contribute to it on a daily basis. A key milestone is that, for the first time, the university has mapped its emissions as reliably and comprehensively as possible.
