Sustainability in the spotlight at Católica from 26 to 30 October

The Universidade Católica Portuguesa is organising the 2nd edition of Sustainability Week, taking place from 26 to 30 October. The initiative once again brings together the academic community across the University's four campi to reflect on today's environmental and social challenges.

Following a first edition featuring more than 60 activities across the four campi, Sustainability Week returns to Católica for a second edition, continuing a project that aims to bring sustainability closer to our everyday lives.

Throughout the week, a range of activities will encourage reflection and promote the adoption of more sustainable practices, highlighting the importance of integrating sustainability into everyday life and contributing to a more responsible future.

Sustainability Week aims to reinforce Católica's commitment to sustainability in its environmental, social and economic dimensions, encouraging the academic community to play an active role in building a more conscious and sustainable society.

Keep an eye on the programme for the 2nd edition of Sustainability Week and discover the activities you can take part in.
