Sustainability Days 2026 end on a high note
From April 22 to May 27, Maastricht University celebrated another inspiring edition of Sustainability Days 2026, bringing together students, staff, researchers, and community members for a month dedicated to collaboration, awareness, and action towards a more sustainable future.
Throughout the month, workshops, discussions, creative sessions, and community initiatives highlighted sustainability topics connected to research, education, and everyday practices across the university. The initiative was organised by the UM Green Office and the UM Faculty Green Teams, with support from the UM Sustainability Office.
Each faculty contributed with its own unique activities, encouraging participants to exchange ideas, discover new perspectives, and collaborate on solutions that support Maastricht University’s sustainability ambitions.
This year’s edition came to a close with the Sustainability Festival, bringing together local vendors, interactive activities, and the wider UM community for a vibrant celebration of sustainability.
