All the Organic Teaching Units of the Polytechnic University of Coimbra (PUC) were once again awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag this year, thereby renewing PUC’s Eco-Polytechnic status.
Higher Education Institutions can be one of the main agents of change in the mindsets and behaviours needed to transition to more sustainable practices, which go far beyond the simple use of resources, requiring a real transformation in management, teaching, learning and interaction with local communities.
The Polytechnic of Coimbra has excelled in the area of environmental sustainability. This recognition is awarded by the National Coordination of the Eco-Schools Program on behalf of the Blue Flag Association of Environment and Education (ABAAE).
