ECOcontest results
Medical University of Lodz has held a contest of pro-ecological initiatives intended for MUL students and employees, which was organised within the framework of EcoUMED programme. The ideas were submitted in the following five categories:
- Activities towards energy efficiency in the university infrastructure, waste management, water and sanitation management;
- Environment-friendly infrastructure and areas within CKD Green Campus;
- Promotion measures to raise pro-ecological awareness of the academic community and Lodz region inhabitants;
- Smog prevention ‘in earnest’: alternative means of city transport forregular car users;
- ‘ECOlogically for health’ i.e. ideas how to change the habits which are harmful for the environment and how to promote habits which may improve our health status.
The partners of the contest included: MUL Research, Strategy and Development Office as well as MUL Centre for Innovation and Technology Transfer. Patronage of Honour was held by prof. Radzisław Kordek, Rector of Medical University of Lodz.
We were positively surprised by the large number of applications. We are glad to know that so many members of MUL community are into pro-ecological activities.
