Sustainability at EURAM 2025

Florence is one of the nine Italian cities selected to participate in the European Union’s “100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030” mission. This recognition reflects the city’s strong commitment to sustainability, innovation and improving the quality of urban life.

At EURAM 2025, we embrace and support these goals by implementing a series of environmentally conscious practices throughout the conference:

• Kilometer Zero Products Policy: We prioritize local and seasonal products. This “kilometer zero” approach reduces the environmental impact of transportation, supports regional producers, and ensures the highest quality food for participants.
• No Plastic Policy: We are committed to making EURAM 2025 a plastic-free event. Only biodegradable and compostable materials will be used. We ask all participants to bring their own reusable water bottle, which can be refilled at the multiple water stations available in all main buildings on campus.
•  Green Mobility and Urban Nature: The conference venue is just steps away from one of Florence’s largest parks, considered one of the city’s green lungs—a perfect place to relax or enjoy a walk between sessions. To reach the city center from the conference venue, you can take advantage of Florence’s modern tram system (tramvia), which is fully electric and designed to reduce pollution. It provides a fast, reliable, and environmentally friendly connection between key areas of the city, including the airport, the conference site, and the historic center. Florence also offers a wide range of sustainable transportation options, including bike-sharing, e-scooters, and car-sharing services, all of which support low-impact urban mobility. Let’s move around Florence in a greener way! 

 Waste and Recycling on Campus:  There are a range of bins in all buildings across campus, they are labelled, and colour coded as follows. Please use this as necessary to keep our campus clean and tidy:

• Yellow – papers
• Light blue – cans and plastic bottles
• Black – general waste
