Sustainable Campus Gotland

What does sustainability look like and how can we act to get there? At Campus Gotland, students and staff are working together to create ideas and solutions for a sustainable future.

Our online whiteboard shows ideas and visions collected to date, and provides a space for collaboration on sustainable initiatives on Campus.

Are you interested in getting involved or sharing ideas? Please contact us.

Campus Garden

More food need to be locally produced to tackle sustainability challenges. Campus Gotland's own garden is located just outside the main entrance and open to everyone. Seeds, tools and rainwater collected from the roof are ready to be used.

The Reuse Shelf

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. We throw away too much stuff and generate too much waste.

To reduce pressure on the planet, we need to reduce our consumption and use what we already have for longer and more efficiently. With the Reuse Shelf, we're trying to get better at recycling things instead of throwing them away. Do you have something that you don't need but that someone else could use? Leave it here! But remember that the items must be whole and clean.

The Reuse Shelf is located on the ground floor in the B building.

B51 Äutsikten

We have built Sweden’s first climate-neutral lecture hall. The renovation of hall B51, with the new name Äutsikten, is one initiative to reduce our carbon footprint. The project has been financed by Uppsala University's Climate Pot.

A bike friendly campus

Do you need help with your bike? Now there is a toolbox to borrow for simple repairs on campus. Occasionally we also arrange workshops for students and staff who want to come together and fix their bikes. Follow Campus Gotland on social media for upcoming events.

To borrow the toolbox, please send an email to socialt@rindi.com

The section EnVis

Are you a member of the union and interested in sustainability issues? Then you should join the EnVis section that is part of the student union Rindi. Here, students in the environmentally oriented programs gather on campus, but all union members are welcome to join.

Food Rescue Gotland

Food Rescue Gotland was initiated by students at Uppsala University Campus Gotland with the aim of increasing access to food and reducing waste. For a few years, rescued food was brought to the campus for staff and students to buy for a symbolic donation. Since 2024, Food Rescue Gotland has not organised any food rescue missions. If you want to rescue food on your own, please contact the organisation for information.
