Semmelweis University took a green path in the spring of 2021: upon a formal suggestion by B\u00e1lint Tripolszky, President of the Students\u2019 Union, the University Senate unanimously voted in favor of the Green University program plan and vowed to commit to environmental protection. For the past six months, the Students\u2019 Union has been working together with the university to implement the project, and this collaboration will continue in the future. This article is part of the \u201cStudents’ Perspective\u201d section.<\/div>\n

The role of the Students\u2019 Union expanded significantly in recent times. In addition to representing students’ interests and organizing events, they took on the coordination of students’ epidemiological work, while embarking on the implementation of such advanced visions as the Green University project. As a first step in the latter, more than 3,000 students voted in support of the various environmental and ecological footprint reduction objectives of the Students\u2019 Union in January this year. In the light of such high level of student support, the organization developed a detailed program plan, which was also approved by the Senate this spring.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the “Think globally, act locally!” motto, the university and the Students\u2019 Union would like to emphasize how important our community\u2019s decisions are in regards to the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The primary goal of the project is to develop environmental education further. It aims to draw the attention of all students and staff at Semmelweis University to their responsibility for the environment, both individually and as a community. However, collective success is mostly achieved by developing and applying an environmentally conscious mindset on the individual level. Therefore the project\u2019s goal is for Semmelweis University to work closely together for a better and more sustainable future.<\/p>\n
