A 'right here, right now' mentality, to make sustainability applicable to daily uni-life
The ESH strongly binds all sustainable initiatives together, resulting in one big group of people working together to make a change. All of us are connected by our devotion to sustainability and making a meaningful difference within our university community to set an example for the rest of the world. We believe that sustainable development is fundamental for meeting the needs of the present and future generations. In addition, we believe that students can play a key role in making this development happen, from a “right here, right now” mentality to make sustainability applicable to our daily uni-life. We envision the students to take this knowledge and practices into their future lives and careers.

All projects and events of the ESH are focused on 6 themes: Sustainable Waste, Sustainable Fashion, Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Education, Sustainable Economics & Society, Sustainable Food.
