14. Sustainabilty on the campus
The University’s commitment to sustainability is integral to our mission. For the EURAM conference, all food will be sourced from local farmers, adhering to our “zero kilometers” policy. This means that the food served has not traveled far, ensuring maximum freshness and supporting our Tuscan identity. By prioritizing local products, we not only reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation but also respect seasonal cycles, using only in-season ingredients. This practice contributes to both environmental sustainability and social responsibility by supporting local businesses and farmers.
Additionally, the University of Florence enforces a “no plastic policy,” minimizing plastic usage throughout the campus. Coffee breaks and lunch will be served using biodegradable materials, and participants are encouraged to refill their water bottles at refill stations located in each building.
Together, these initiatives underscore our commitment to sustainability and enhance the overall experience for conference attendees.
For more info about sustainability at the University of Florence, visit the website here (in Italian).
