In celebration of Sustainability Action Week (Monday 28 February – Sunday 6 March), the Sustainability team have arranged a series of events throughout the week. The Sustainability Fair – their flagship event – will exhibit the sustainable initiatives that the university and its partners are engaged in. Staff and students are invited to get involved and take action.
Visitors will have the opportunity to:
- See the University of Nottingham Racing Team’s solar car. This is being developed by students who are passionate about sustainable transport for the future. They intend to compete in the European and World Solar Challenges.
- Discover how the university is engaging the public and policymakers with sustainability research, including our involvement in COP26, how we used a local pop-up shop to raise awareness, and our efforts to engage young people.
- Have a go on a smoothie bike and pedal you way to a healthy beverage with Nottingham charity Ridewise.
- Bring a keep cup and have a coffee with our waste contractor Enva to chat about recycling.
