What is UNIgreen?
UNIgreen is an Alliance of eight Higher Education Institutions that are committed to promoting excellence in education, research and innovation, and that are active in developing knowledge and solutions that give an answer to the needs of local communities.
The UNIgreen Alliance is working towards becoming the leading European University in the fields of Sustainable Agriculture, Green Biotechnology, and Environmental and Life Sciences.
What does UNIgreen mean?
Our name was formed by combining UNI and green.
UNI stands for UNIversity, UNIty (inspired by the European Union motto “United in Diversity”) and UNIversal (which represents our “For All and With All” mission). On the other hand, green refers to an interdisciplinary group of scientific areas of expertise that will help boost our transition to a resource-efficient, circular, digitised and climate neutral (in other words, a “greener”) society. This is why we say that UNIgreen is both our name, mission and goal. #WeAreUNIgreen
