SESSION G07 / 15 October 2025 / 11:00 - 12:30
Workshop: Efficiency of WM policies in Universities
Chairs / Presidenti: Eleonora Perotto, Maria Cristina Lavagnolo, Giovanni De Feo (IT)
Promoted by RUS, the Network of Universities for Sustainable Development, the workshop aims to provide a forum for discussion on university policies for the efficient management of waste, including strategies for preventing its generation, with particular emphasis on student engagement. We invite colleagues from both Italian and international universities to join the discussion, in order to assess the effectiveness of the policies implemented in our institutions and to gain valuable insights from the contributions of the students participating in the session. Anyone who would like to contribute by presenting the initiatives carried out at their university regarding waste separation is welcome to contact mariacristina.lavagnolo@unipd.it
The Italian Network of Universities for Sustainable Development (RUS) mark the first experience of information sharing and coordination among all Italian Universities committed to the topic of environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The main goal of RUS is to spread the culture of sustainability, both within and outside Universities, by sharing skills and experiences. The aim is to increase the positive impact in terms of environmental, ethical, social and economic actions, which are currently implemented by each university, in order to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and to strengthen the value of the Italian experience on an International level.
